 Certain maroon factions became so formidable that they made treaties with local colonial authorities, sometimes negotiating their independence in exchange for helping to hunt down other enslaved people who escaped.Due to tensions and repeated conflicts with maroons from Trelawny Town, the Second Maroon War erupted in 1795.After the governor tricked the Trelawny Maroons into surrendering, the colonial government deported approximately 600 captive maroons to Nova Scotia.
