The fact that we even had to default to a swamp is appalling! Yet we prevailed and continue to do so!

When I Hear the word Maroon, NANNY The Ruff Maroon Soldier Always Comes To Mind. 200yrs of Freedom is Awesome! I'll Take a Dismal Swamp Over A Sadistic/Satanic White Man's/Woman's Slave Plantation/Nation Any Day.

Many slave's and their ancestors were already accustomed to harsh living conditions in Africa. They just adapted and made it work when they were kidnapped and brought to a new land. It's what OUR people do. It's OUR nature.
