Release of Akwantu - The Journey

[Fred Stripe]

I do want to know the truth,thats why I asked you. I saw this in Wikipedia under "Maroons" ??? Why did they not fight the 2nd war with their brothers? It clearly states they sold "other slaves back to the Brits" I'm just looking for clarity because it's an interesting story.Remember,the Americans gained independence when they fought the British also?

Fred, I am sure you know how information gets on Wikipedia, right? You don't have to know any facts to write what you perceive to be the truth. Maybe they are Tea Party Republicans, I don't know but many are certainly guilty of spreading misinformation. It reads like a personal opinion and not based in much facts. When I want to know what historians think, I go to sites that present whatever facts are known and not Wikipedia for sure. Here are a couple for you to check out.
Concerning the Second Maroon War (which did not include Accompong Town Maroons) http://www.kingscollections.org/exhi...econdmaroonwar

Concerning Accompong Town from a former Colonel http://www.folklife.si.edu/resources...l_guide/63.htm

and http://abengcentral.wordpress.com/an...oon-societies/

And remember, the Accompong Maroons were never British Subjects such as were the people fighting in the American Revolution.

Hope this helps a little more.
