It is worth noting that the term "Maroons" and the concept of "Marronage" were not in existence before the Jamaican Maroons. The Amerindian-African Maroons arrived in Jamaica during the Spanish period and had a significant impact on the English settlers who aimed to establish Jamaica as a major sugar colony. The Maroons played a central role in the island's most important events and the passing of crucial laws. Consequently, historians have extensively studied and written about the Maroons.
Despite the prolonged guerilla warfare against the English, the Maroon movement did not initially seek conflict. Their primary goal was to distance themselves from European influence and recreate their own way of life elsewhere. Initially labeled as 'Marrons', a term associated with the Jewish practice of maintaining traditions in secret, the Tiano Maroons were later joined by free African individuals who were brought to the island as slaves by Europeans.
