*History S.B.A. Outline*

Question #:-

In what ways did the Maroons prove to be a nuisance to the planters and an inspiration to the slaves?

Topic:-

“Resistance And Revolts” with regards to the Maroons.

N.B.:- To be included in my S.B.A.

➢ A Rationale,

➢ An Introduction,

➢ The Body Of Research

➢ A Conclusion (Which must be in relation to your hypothesis),

➢ The Bibliography.

← The Body Of Research:- Should contain 1,200 to 1,500 words.

← The Rationale:- (This is the aim and objective of what you plan to cover in the S.B.A. Research.)

← It should contain two paragraphs. Within the first, you should introduce the topic; while in the second, you should outline the aim.

← The aims should contain or outline at least three questions, which you intend to cover in your S.B.A. Research.

* The Rationale*

The Maroons were runaway slaves who escaped from sugar plantations, who would then hide and dwell in the mountains. They however would frequently raid various sugar plantations for food, tools; and also help the other slaves who wanted to escape. The Maroons would also constantly engage themselves in wars with the British Militia, and as a result of this, they (the Maroons) were always seen as a great nuisance and liability to the plantation owners and the British Militia.

The researcher will seek to evaluate; what were some of the things which the maroons engaged themselves in, which created havoc among the planters or made them angry? And what were some of the practices which the maroons engaged themselves in which was both an inspiration and an upliftment to the slaves on the sugar plantations?

    At first, they believed they could get “pearl and gold… Earth’s only paradise” (Doc A), but they would find “cruel diseases as swellings, burning fevers, and by wars, and some departed suddenly, but for the most part they died of mere famine” (Doc B). Their hopeful beliefs as they sailed towards the new land were thwarted by the reality of the situation. Disease would bring the total population down drastically, while famine coupled with malnutrition and starvation was increased due to the economic importance of tobacco. Tobacco’s prevalence in Virginia started to exhaust the soil, starting a demand for new land, and the need to move westward. This land deficiency would start more conflict with Native Americans, and indentured servants would be angered by the lack of land, because of the inability for Virginia to complete their freedom dues. Frustrated Virginians broke out in Bacon's Rebellion, and although it was subdued, the effects on the tensions between planters and laborers increased. Planters searched for more stable workers, and they would rely on African slaves to be laborers in this plantatin economy. As slavery began, the agriculturally based society escalated to higher production rates. However, after servants were seen as hostile, and became more likely to misbehave, laws were put in order that if "many times negroes... and other slaves unlawfully absent themselves from their masters... shall resist, runaway or refuse to deliver and surrender him or themselves to any person or persons..., it shall... be lawfull for such person and persons to kill and distroy such negroes" (Doc H). These laws suppressed slaves enough to ensure more productive…

    For over 400 years,Runaway slaves would all come together and start communities in different parts of Southeast America, South America, even parts of Florida .These new social orders went from small groups that survived not as much as a year to effective states holding a huge number of individuals that made due for eras and even hundreds of years. Today their offspring still shape some independent spaces in a few sections of the world, in French Guiana, Jamaica, Colombia and Belize are proud of where they came from.

    The “Giddy Multitude” which is a resentful class of indentured servants, slaves both white and black constantly threatened the social order that constructed slavery (Takaki, 63). Takaki explains how black and white people shared differences due to their social class. In the “Giddy Multitude” narrative by Takaki, it was addressed that the records showed that in repeated instances blacks and whites conspired to escape together (55). When blacks and whites were caught escaping together they were both strongly punished for their actions. Usually black slaves were forced into life of enslavement, while whites typically only had to work a few more extra years for the colony and the slave’s master. Both groups of people united to create what was called the “Giddy Multitude”. Once the English realized that both whites and blacks united as one they had to find a justification to separate both and put them against one another. Virginia was absolutely against the way blacks and whites working together and were not accepting the collaboration. Blacks were punished more severely than the whites if caught trying to escape enslavement. With the…

    They engaged in several practices that are fundamentally human that their oppressors tried to steal from them including: marriage, abortion, religious ceremonies, having dialogue and some even ran away and created villages of their own where they could be free – these people were called Maroons. This is all to say that slavery was not sustainable in the society that they were in and that they fought against what had come to be accepted as the norm; this is significant throughout all of Caribbean history.…

    This thirsty demand for land left settlers scrambling for plantations in close proximity to water. Patterns of settlement moved away from the traditional compact communities more common in the North, and more towards dispersed plantations accessible by ship. Competition thrived but the new American labor force was insufficient. Planters turned to England for indentured servants, such as William Moraley, but were quick to exploit the African slave trade. The Southern style of plantation life was luxurious for few, but disastrous for many. Prominent men such as William Fitzhugh enjoyed the comforts that Virginia afforded, but the ways in which these comforts were afforded would spark uprisings and revolts in the centuries to come. Servants, Native Americans, and slaves died in alarming numbers from disease, and those who survived faced years of backbreaking…
