| Description: |
|
Forget the isolated slave rebellions that have come to dominate any talk of resistance to slavery. These are stories of the long-running, multi-racial battles against the slave-owning class the Maroon resistance based in the Dismal Swamp of Virginia and North Carolina, the Black Seminole Maroons and their Amerindian allies in Florida, and the Underground Railroad in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. In the elites calculation, any large Maroon community stood a good chance of uniting the Amerindians not addicted to their trade goods, with both the indentured and poor whites, and also the enslaved Africans all of whom heavily outnumbered the landowning and other upper class whites.
