Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

As early as 1655, escaped Africans had formed communities in inland Jamaica, and by the 18th century, Nanny Town and other Jamaican maroon villages began to fight for independent recognition. When runaway enslaved people and Amerindians banded together and subsisted independently they were called "maroons".
