The second maroon war: runaway slaves fighting on the side of Trelawny Town

ABSTRACT Historians have argued that the Maroons had alienated the slaves by hunting runaways, and consequently they refused to support the Maroon village of Trelawny Town during the Second Maroon War of 1795–6. However, this article maintains that in the Second Maroon War, slaves ran away in significant numbers to fight on the side of Trelawny Town. In the process, many of them gained their freedom and served as an inspiration for increased marronage in the years that followed.
