Trelawny Town Maroons surrendered after fighting the colonial government. The conflict followed long-standing grievances and a dispute over punishment under the treaty system. British forces used trained dogs imported from Cuba, alongside troops and other Maroon allies, to pursue the fighters. The surrender resulted from a military campaign against a community that had secured its freedom through resistance, while the treaty framework had also obliged Maroons to help return people who escaped plantations.
