During the 1650s, the British captured Jamaica from the Spanish. In a last-ditch attempt at defiance, the Spanish settlers freed and armed their slaves, who sought refuge in the island’s interior. The iOS, as these ex-slaves came to be called, continuously defied the island's new colonizers. The only army ever to defeat the mighty British, the Maroons still exist in modern-day Jamaica.
Under British rule, Jamaica became a busy and wealthy colony. By the 18th century, the island was "the jewel of the British crown", producing 22 percent of the world's sugar on large, lucrative plantations. This success came at great cost to the African people, thousands of whom were forcefully brought to the New World as slaves. Jamaica became independent in 1962.
