Lucas and Luna dive into the Second Maroon War of 1795-1796, a conflict that shattered the fragile peace established by the 1739 treaties. After decades of uneasy coexistence, the Trelawny Maroons of the Cockpit Country clashed with British authorities over flogging, land rights, and escalating tensions. The uprising was brief but brutal, ending with a controversial surrender. The British then deported over 500 Maroons to Nova Scotia and later to Sierra Leone, a diaspora that erased a community from Jamaica. Lucas explains the role of Governor Alexander Lindsay, the Earl of Balcarres, the influence of French revolutionary ideas, and the tragic fate of the Trelawny people. The episode explores how this war rewrote Maroon-British relations and left a legacy of mistrust that echoes in Jamaican history. #SecondMaroonWar #TrelawnyMaroons #CockpitCountry #AlexanderLindsay #EarlOfBalcarres #MaroonDeportation #NovaScotia #SierraLeone #JamaicanHistory #CaribbeanHistory #Maroons #TreatyOf1739 #ColonialJamaica #Resistance #FexingoHistory #History #Jamaica #18thCentury Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
