What treaties and events forced the Acadians out of Canada to Louisiana?

"ceded mainland Acadia (modern Nova Scotia and New Brunswick) to Britain, but not Cape Breton."

"In the spring of 1713 the War of the Spanish Succession ended with the Treaty of Utrecht. The French had been forced to concede to the English Hudson Bay, Acadia, and Newfoundland, and the right to trade directly with the First Nations of the west."

"After the British gained control of Acadia in 1713, the Acadians refused to sign an unconditional oath of loyalty to become British subjects. Instead, they negotiated a conditional oath that promised neutrality."

"Eventually, the last of the colonial wars—the French and Indian War —resulted in the British Expulsion of the Acadians from the region."

"The exact extent of the boundaries of Acadia was not spelled out in the treaty, which subsequently gave rise to continued disputes between France and England."

"Without differentiating between those who had remained neutral and those who took up arms, the British governor Charles Lawrence and the Nova Scotia Council ordered all Acadians to be expelled."

"In the Grand Dérangement (the Great Upheaval ), more than 12,000 Acadians (three-fourths of the Acadian population in Nova Scotia) were expelled from the colony between 1755 and 1764."

"British colonial officers suspected that Acadians were aligned with France, after finding some Acadians fighting alongside French troops at Fort Beauséjour."

"Prior to 1758, Acadians were deported to the Thirteen Colonies (first wave of the expulsion). Later they were transported to either Britain or France (second wave of the expulsion)."

"The British destroyed around 6,000 Acadian houses and dispersed the Acadians among the Thirteen Colonies from Massachusetts to Georgia ."

"The decision to deport the Acadians is made, during meetings of the Nova Scotia Council meeting in Halifax"

"the British, together with New England legislators and militia, carried out the Great Expulsion ( Le Grand Dérangement ) of the Acadians between 1755 and 1764. They forcefully deported approximately 11,500 Acadians from the maritime region. Approximately one-third perished from disease and drowning."

"A significant number of those who were deported to Britain and France would then migrate to Spanish Louisiana , where "Acadians" eventually became " Cajuns "."

"Others remained in France and some migrated from there to Louisiana, where they became known as Cajuns , a corruption of the word Acadiens or Acadians."

"The Expulsion of the Acadians begins, with the Bay of Fundy Campaign"

"The Acadians were deported to separated locations throughout the British eastern seaboard colonies, from New England to Georgia"

"The British Conquest of Acadia happened in 1710. Over the next forty-five years the Acadians refused to sign an unconditional oath of allegiance to Britain."

"The British did not directly deport Acadians to Louisiana. Following the expulsion by the British from their home, Acadians found their way to many friendly locales, including France. Acadians left France, under the influence of Henri Peyroux de la Coudreniere , to settle in Louisiana , which was then a colony of Spain."

"From September 1755-June 1763, the vast majority of Acadians are deported to one of the following British Colonies in America"

"After being expelled to France, many Acadians were eventually recruited by the Spanish government to migrate to Luisiana (present-day Louisiana)."

"Contrary to popular belief, no Acadians are sent to Louisiana"

"In 1758 the Fortress of Louisbourg falls and all of the civilian population of Isle Royal (Cape Breton Island) and Isle St. Jean (Prince Edward Island) are repatriated to France"

"L'article 39 de la capitulation de Montréal, soumis à la signature d'Amherst, stipule qu'aucun Français résidant au Canada, ou sur les frontières, ne sera déporté en Angleterre ni dans les colonies anglaises. Le général anglais écrit en marge : " Accordé, excepté à l'égard des Acadiens.""

"Belcher et les amis influents ne furent pas oubliés. Lord Egmond reçut pour sa part cent mille arpents de terre et forêts, et un certain Alexandre McNutt, pour lui et ses associés, un million six cent mille."

"Sûr de chacun des membres de son Conseil, Belcher, le 20 février 1761, leur fit passer, en réponse au message du général, un arrêté déclarant " qu'ils étaient unanimement d'avis qu'aucun ordre du roi, ni aucune loi de la province ne devait permettre aux Acadiens-Français de demeurer à la Nouvelle-Ecosse.""

"Dans le cas particulier de la déportation de l’île Saint-Jean , le plan prévoyait toutefois de placer 3 890 passagers dans divers bateaux totalisant une capacité de 4 354 tonneaux , soit un ratio de 0,89 passager par tonneau, comparativement aux 2 passagers par tonneau selon Charles Lawrence"

"La croyance selon laquelle les prisonniers de l’île Saint-Jean furent entassés comme ceux de la Nouvelle-Écosse provient d'une exagération des faits ; c'est l'un des mythes acadiens"

"Les Bateaux, indispensables à la déportation, sont pour la plupart loués à une compagnie de la Nouvelle-Angleterre et réaménagés pour l'occasion"

"The forbears and ancestors of Robert F. Brou sard were ordered to formally take the oath of al allegiance - legiance allegiance to the King of England and to renounce their affliaion to Louis, King of France. His an ancestors - cestors ancestors were as proud and strong strongminded - minded strongminded as was our distinguished junior Senator; they had tasted of French civilization for centu cent"
