Jamaica is a what?
Maroons are descendants of escaped slaves who lived in the remote regions of the island as free men. They are divided in Jamaica into two groups, The John Crow Maroon on the Eastern part of the island and the Windward Maroons on the western side. Several wars were fought between Maroons and the British in the 1700's resulting in their liberty being recognised by the British throne. Nanny, a national hero of Jamaica, was a maroon of Ashanti African heritage during these wars. Maroons are still an important part of Jamaica, their two main towns are Maroon town in the John Crow Mountains and Accomponang near the town of Maggoty in the western part of the islands. Many maroons today are part of the JDF because of their military traditions passed down for more than 300 years
