In 1690, a slave revolt in Clarendon Parish ignited a decades-long struggle for freedom in Jamaica. When Coromantee captives from the Gold Coast rose up at the Sutton estate, they killed the overseer and fled into the Cockpit Country. This episode follows the revolt's leaders — led by a man named Cudjoe — as they established independent Maroon communities, raided plantations for weapons and women, and eventually forced the British to negotiate. We examine the role of Obeah in organizing the rebellion, the brutal reprisals that followed, and how this uprising laid the groundwork for Tacky's Revolt seventy years later. Drawing on planters' letters, colonial records, and Maroon oral traditions, we piece together a story of resilience and strategic alliance-building that reshaped the island's geography of power. Lucas and Luna discuss the revolt's aftermath: the strengthening of the Maroon treaty system, the creation of the Maroon police force, and the paradox of Maroons hunting runaways. This episode also touches on the environmental knowledge that sustained the rebels in the Cockpit Country's labyrinthine caves and sinkholes. #History #FexingoHistory #JamaicanHistory #Maroons #Coromantee #SlaveRevolt #Obeah #CockpitCountry #ClarendonParish #SuttonEstate #Cudjoe #TackyRevolt #CaribbeanHistory #AfricanDiaspora #ColonialJamaica #Resistance #1690s #MaroonTreaty Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
