By the 18th Century, England had a lucrative sugar, rum and cotton trade out of Jamaica and the planters feared that the steady flow of products would be disrupted by the escaped slaves that had banded together to avenge their treatment by the white man. To prevent this, King George sent an army to contain the dissenters, known as Maroons. This is a story about the men and women, black and white, who were embroiled in that conflict. How they lived, loved, survived and died. This is a story about the First Maroon War.
