Answer 2

First came the slaves from Africa, to work in the fields... But guess what... they escaped.  They were called the Cimarrones, and they went to the jungle and learn to speak backwards, so no one would understand, elected a king and a queen, and lived as they wanted.

When the building of the Canal started (1900ish), came many blacks from the west indies and they stayed.  They speak english and sometimes french.

Isn‘t this a great place?
