The maroons lived in the swamps east of New Orleans and made their headquarters at Galliano, Louisiana, from 1780 to 1784. The Spanish colonial authorities had mostly suppressed the slave revolts by 1783, and more than a hundred of the runaways had been captured. Jean Saint Malo was condemned to death by hanging, on charges of murder. The execution was carried out by the alcalde Mario de Reggio on June 19, 1784, in front of St. Louis Cathedral (present-day Jackson Square, New Orleans).The Filipino community of Saint Malo, Louisiana, was named after him.Coincidentally, June 19, the day of Juan San Malo's death, is also recognized by many African Americans as Juneteenth, the day that slavery officially ended in several Southern states, about eighty years later – although there is no connection."@en }
