"What exactly happened at the Sandford Ambush in August 1795?"

🧠 AI Historian Synthesis

The evidence indicates that Colonel Sandford ignored direct orders to halt his advance. Eager for glory, he led a detachment of dragoons deep into a narrow defile (Maaga Bay Road) toward the abandoned 'New Town'. The Maroons, possessing absolute mastery of the terrain, had set a brilliant U-shaped ambush on the limestone ridges.

As Sandford's men rode into the trap, Captain Leonard Parkinson's forces opened fire from complete concealment. Sandford and dozens of his men were killed instantly. The Maroons suffered zero casualties, demonstrating superior tactical execution over regular British cavalry.

Primary Source Extracted from Vector DB: "Colonel Sandford, pushing blindly forward with his Dragoons into the defile, was immediately met by a tremendous volley of musketry from unseen hands among the rocks... The Maroons simply melted back into the deep woods... It was a total massacre."

"Were the terms of the 1738 Treaty honored by the British?"

🧠 AI Historian Synthesis

Retrieval analysis of colonial records reveals systemic, deliberate violations of the 1738 Treaty by the Jamaican Assembly. While the printed treaty promised autonomy and 1,500 acres of land, subsequent colonial laws slowly stripped the Maroons of their rights, restricted their movements, and encroached upon their borders to benefit white plantation owners.

Primary Source Extracted from Vector DB: "No Maroon shall walk outside the limits of their town without a written ticket from the white superintendent, under pain of whipping... Their lands, being unsurveyed, were systematically encroached upon by neighboring planters, leaving the Maroons with little fertile ground for provisions."
— Edwards, Bryan. Proceedings of the Governor and Assembly... (1796), p. 45
