I was stationed in Norfolk and I visited often and found the history fascinating. There were other communities of run away slaves all over the country from my understanding.

[@rockfresh5359]

Of course they lied and said we was happy being slaves for decades , we always fought whypepo

Good luck chasing my people in the swamp, on the back of a horse, with dogs. Gators are waiting for you.

The same God yesterday, today and forever 🙏 ❤️

We must Learn All and teach all Slavery was hard and sad but those people won’t pay up God shall get them all karma

Conditions better in a swamp? No one living can understand!

[@lonecrusaider]

Lots of food and materials in a swamp. Couldn't of picked a better spot.

[@PaulTheSkeptic]

I can't joke about the name of the name of the swamp with this subject matter. It wouldn't be right. But how can I not?... Great thanks. Now I'm broken.

Living in nature and leading a simplistic and free lifestyle hunting and gathering, growing your own crops, livestock, harvesting electricity and technology your own, away from the city and from being enslaved to the society's materialistic and elitist standards as well as judgements, class hierarchy/system, the corporate rat race and monetary system, toxic people and their toxicity and schemes, politics. I will take the former over the latter.

[@youtubeuser5683]

You can try to dress it up with modern terminology and weak parallels all you want... These people were escaping being lynched, castrated, mutilated, sexually assaulted, murdered, tortured, experimented on, etc. All sanctioned and endorsed by the Amerikn govt. What a sick and depraved society.

Which was worse, slavery or skeeters.

I thought this was going to be about 'current slaves'...to my surprise-a bit of history. May God deeply comfort ALL people who are in slavery today. May He fill our hearts with creative, self-sacrificial ways to rescue them. Let us count our blessings brothers & sisters.

[@bluefig797]

Why would it be about that? This is a part of American history that the country tortured and oppressed a group of people based solely on their God given ethnicity.

I am a Cimarron. We were not slaves!! Nor were the majority of us ever enslaved. Cimarrons are known as Black Seminoles of the South. Cimarrons are Maroons (Moors) not Blacks or Slaves. Get it right.

How did Cimarrons get to the America?

It is sad for you to say that and in that way you can get away from.
