Expanding article

I have good references to expand the article. FloNight ♥♥♥ 00:09, 18 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Meaning?

"In 1733, in response to harsh living conditions from drought, a severe hurricane, and crop failure from insect infestation; slaves in the West Indies, including on St. John, left their plantations to maroon." What does "to maroon" mean? 211.225.34.170 (talk) 06:12, 5 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
