Gullahs Who Escaped Slavery

The Black Seminoles are a small offshoot of the Gullah who escaped from the rice plantations in South Carolina and Georgia. They built their own settlements on the Florida frontier, fought a series of wars to preserve their freedom, and were scattered across North America. Some Gullah slaves managed to escape from coastal South Carolina and Georgia south into the Florida peninsula.(http://www.yale.edu/glc/gullah/07.htm).
