You successfully run north to a maroon community of former slaves that you’ve heard about from others on your plantation. Context: Created by former slaves across the South, maroon societies were permanent outlaw communities primarily located in the least accessible areas isolated by swamps or dense forests. These former slaves sustained themselves by hunting, fishing and gardening, and their communities were considered sites of full-fledged liberty by enslaved blacks.
