Acadia

The Great Deportation:

In 1713, Britian took over Acadia,they told the Acadians that they would have to leave within one year.The Acadians didn`t want to give up the places that they lived in. Many years later they made the Acadains take an oath stating that if the war between Britian and the France broke out again they were to stay calm. In 1755 the British created a new oath of allegiance for the Acadians to take, this oath states that if the war were to break out they would have to go and fight for the the British not the French.If any of the Acadians were to refuse taking the oath they would be deported to France because they had no where else to go. Between 1755 and 1763 during the Great Deportation ,Britian captured around eleven thousand Acadians and they took them to the Thirteen Colonies, some to England and to France. The deportion also affected the Mi`kmaq. Another reason that they got deported is because they had lost the battle.

Acadia What were the important events in the conflict:

If France and Britain went into war with one another, the Acadians would be drawn into the war with the two countries.The Acadians were Catholic and spoke French, though they had lived in Britain, and were living under the British rules peacfully for more than forty years. But the Acadians had a lot more in common with the French than with the British, even after forty years of living with them, in 1755 Acadia had 12000 Acadian settlers, and the British had 6000 British settlers. The Acadians out numbered the British two to one. The Acadians refused to fight against France in war, but they did promise to stay neutral. The French refused to trust the Acadians, because they were part of the British decent.

Who were the key names involved:

The people involved with the deportation of the Acadians is the British Lieutenant-Colonel John Winslow, Governer Lawrence, Viola Le'ger, Captain Charles Ince, Pierre Demonts, Samuel Champlain,and the Mi'kmaq (meeg-maw)Tribe.

What were the key battles:

The keys battles that were significant to the outcome of the Acadians were,when the English attacked Port Royal (a city in Quebec) in 1654 and captured all of the french settlements around the Bay of Fundy, the English got control over the southern part of France. The British didn't think they could trust the Acadians after they gained control of Acadia, trying to make them swear they will fight against the French in war. But the Acadians didn't want to fightagainst the French, the French shared their blood and their culture, they couldn't fight against family. So the British kicked them out of their country on big boats, most did no survive. m

What Was The End Result? Who Won? Who Got What?: ​

The end result is that the Acadians were removed from their homes and sent around the New France area and all they could take is the clothes on there back and what they could carry. They were sent to the Carribean, France, and Spain. In the end the British had won the land that the Acadians were living on and after they had left the places that they had lived in the British got the land that the Acadians lived on.
