Who were the Acadians?

Answer 1

They were the French settlers in Nova Scotia. The French called it Acadia after the Indian name for the area. It went back and forth between the British and french throughout the 17th and early 18th centuries. The British gained final control in 1713. In 1755, with war with France looming the British became concerned about the loyalty of the French population and deported many of them. Several thousand of them settled in Louisiana, which was then French territory. Over time after Louisiana became American the word Acadian was corrupted to Cajun which is how their descendants, including me, are known to this day.Michael Montagne

Answerfrench settlers AnswerThe Acadians were the first Europeans (besides the Vikings) to land in the Maritime provinces. They lived content and happy lives.

Even though the Acadians weren't interrested in the rest of the world, most of it was interrested in acadia (and all of North America.) In 1713 Britain and France went into war over acadia. They both wanted it for them selfs. A few years later the French signed a peace treaty saying that Brittain could have Acadia, that meant that the Acadians were now on Brittish property. The Brittish said that the Acadians could live on the land for one year, but after that the Acadians had to swear allegience to the Brittish. But the Acadians didn't want to do that because it meant that they would have to go against France if another war ever broke out between Britain and France. So they pursauded the Brittish to allow them to stay in Acadia. The Brittish relunctly agreed. Soon the acadians loyaltie to the French became an issue. The Brittish didn't trust the Acadians anymore so they made them leave their homes in Acadia. Most of them left and settled in Loisianna.

AnswerAcadians were people who were actually French people but they moved acrosss the ocean a long time ago when this land was first found. AnswerThey simply didnt "leave".

Acadians were French settlers who were forceably removed from their homes,loaded into ships and dropped up and down the east coast.

Some were called into special town meetings at local churches and once they were inside,they were herded onto ships to be taken away.Most never saw their families again.

The region known as the St John Valley in Northern Maine is inhabited by Acadians.The ones who escaped the Grande Derangement came here because the English ships couldn't make the falls in the St John river in which is now located the community of Grand Falls,New Brunswick.

After the Webster Ashburton treaty,many of them became US citizens.
