Maroons originated from enslaved Africans who escaped plantations in the Americas, particularly in regions such as the Caribbean, Brazil, and the southern United States. These individuals formed independent communities, often in remote areas, where they maintained their cultural practices and resisted colonial powers. The term "Maroons" is most commonly associated with communities in Jamaica, Suriname, and Haiti, where they established their own societies and fought for freedom. Their legacy reflects a blend of African traditions and the struggle for autonomy and resistance against oppression.
