Maroons, in Spanish Louisiana
.
Saint Malo and his band escaped to a marshy area near
St. Bernard Parish.[1]
The Spanish colonial authorities led a campaign to suppress slave revolts and eliminate Maroon colonies in the region, capturing more than a hundred escaped slaves.[2][3] In 1783, Col. Francisco Bouligny led an expedition against Bas du Fleuve, capturing 60 people, including Saint Malo.[2][4]
Jean Saint Malo was condemned to death by
Jackson Square in New Orleans.[4]
The Filipino community of Saint Malo, Louisiana, was named after him.[5]
