THE SUGAR INTEREST
ENGLISH SETTLERS IN
Jamaica knew them as Maroons, black slaves of fierce character whose
ancestors had escaped when their Spanish owners were driven from the

mountain glens in the center of the island, and there they had survived
and prospered for more than eighty years, repelling all English efforts
to dislodge them. Year by year their numbers had grown as new slaves ,
imported into Jamaica at great expense, worked a few years on the sugar
plantations, then disappeared into the mountains to form the new stock
of Maroons. CARIBBEAN: Ch.VII The Sugar Interest. James A. Michener
