Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Maroon societies were formed by escaped enslaved Africans and allowed them to preserve their African culture away from the influence of European colonialism. These societies existed not only in the Caribbean but also in other areas where slavery was present, such as Brazil and the United States. They were not typically multi-racial and did not have the official approval of colonial governments. Indentured servants were not typically part of these societies.
