Nanny of the Maroons was from Ghana, West Africa. She was brought to Jamaica as a slave but later escaped and became a prominent leader of the Windward Maroons, a group of Jamaican Maroons who fought against British colonization.
The free communities established by thousands of escaped slaves in the wilderness were known as "maroon" communities. These maroons often formed their own societies, maintaining their cultural practices and resisting colonization and oppression. They played a significant role in the history of resistance against slavery in the Americas.
