A treaty between the Maroons and the English in 1739 gave the Maroons their freedom and land and effectively stopped their raids on the plantations. In 1795 the second Maroon uprising led to over 600 Maroons being exiled to Nova Scotia in Canada and later to Sierra Leone in Africa in 1800. Trelawny Town was destroyed in retaliation.
