another thing was Palenqes were common all over Latin America Granted there was way more land in South America that was occupied at that time but there were several people that wasn't going for it.Yoooooo! Not only is she alive and they dead, she gets sent to Spain, educated, refined, and sent back as a noblewoman!
In a raid on the palenque, many of the maroons, including Lorenza, are killed, and the survivors are captured and returned to slavery. Tomás, his daughters, and Miguel all now become the slaves of Parreño.
Victoria escapes the attack and seeks refuge in the village church, whose priest, Father Octavio, sends her away to join a convent in Spain, where she is taught to read, write, and serve as a novice. Some ten years later, Victoria escapes from the convent, with the help of her best friend, Remedios. She then returns to Santa Marta posing as Lucía de Bracamonte, a Spanish aristocrat who has entered into an agreement to marry Parreño.
Cali is the gateway to the Pacific and of course had a ton of sugar plantations but once you get out of Cali it gets very woodsy and very Black about two hours to the west and you basically have the children of runaway slaves living pretty much how their ancestors lived once they got up off the plantations.
