It depends on which land you are talking about. French settlers became known as Acadians by making their home in part of Nova Scotia in Canada, around 1605.
They were removed from their homes and deported by the ruling English from Nova Scotia in 1755. This is the year they began to arrive in Louisiana, and the word "Acadian" evolved into "Cajun".
this
is wrong
Before the 1600s there was no group of people known as Acadians. The group originated in the area of what is now Nova Scotia. So Acadians could not come to Canada as they didn't exist before Canada.
The second contributor is splitting hairs a little. Of course there was no country called Canada when the first French settlers arrived on this continent. Take the spirit of the question, please.
Actually, the first French settlement in this part of the world was at the St. Croix River, which is in Maine now. Acadians, who were (and are) distinct from the Quebecois of what became Lower Canada, could be found in what is now Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Prince Edward Island (then called Ile St. Jean). Because the French crown pretty much left them to their own devices in many regards, they developed a sense of community and social identity that was, indeed, distinct from their confreres up the St. Lawrence.
In 1604 the original French settlement was started on Saint Croix Island with a colony of 79 men. The following spring 35 of the 79 men were dead the following spring and the settlement was moved to Port Royal on the other side of the Bay of Fundy. It was one of the first permanent settlements in North America. They called the location L'Acadie based on the work of Virgil. The settlers were knows as Acadians.
In 1710 during Queen Anne's War, the British laid siege to Port Royal which marked the beginning of British rule over Acadia which they renamed Nova Scotia. British control placed the Acadians in a sticky predictiment since they were Frenchmen under British rule. On several occaisions they were asked to take oaths to the British Crown but most refused in preference to remaining neural.
In 1755 approximately 11,500 Acadians (75% of the population of Acadia) were expelled during what Acadians call le Grand Dérangement. They were deported to British colonies from New England to Georgia. Many families were split up. Thousands more were sent back to France and later to Louisiana where they joined others who had been sent there earlier. Many who were sent to British colonies escaped and went to Louisiana. The Louisiana Acadians are called Cajuns.
Still other Acadians settled in what is now Northern Maine and New Brunswick or went to other French settlements in and around Quebec.
Today you find large groups of Acadians in Northern Maine (Aroostook County), Louisiana and the Eastern Maritime provinces of Canada.
The Acadians first lived in the Canadian provinces of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Quebec, and in present day Maine. During the French and Indian War, British colonial officers and New England legislators executed the Great Expulsion of 1755-1763, in which the acadians either returned to France or moved down to Louisiana (at that time a French colony). The descendants of the acadians in modern day Louisiana are known as "Cajuns." Many also returned to maritime Canadian provinces, especially in New Brunswick.
The Acadians wanted to murder the Canadian government to take the money from them
The King of France let them stay there and everyone would not let them stay anywhere else. Still they had to live by all the swamps were nobody wanted to live at least they had a place to stay.
the acadian deportation occured in eastern Canada because the acadians where french and a war with the french was looming. to prevent the acadians from becoming spies, the british gave the acadians a choice... join us, or lose everything. many left for France and others went to the united states.

Acadians
200 years.
Acadians are predominantly found in the Canadian provinces of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island. There are also Acadian communities in parts of Quebec, Maine, and Louisiana.
The Acadians were mostly Roman Catholic.
little kids is what the Acadians liked to eat
The expulsion of the acadians was NOT legal. The british colonies expelled them anyways.
When the Britain feared that the Acadians could go to France and defeat them they made the Acadians sign a decloration but when the Acadians refused a utrech was signed and acadians were kicked out of there homes,farms,and went going off to France for help
why did the acadians refuse to fight the french
The Acadians usually made their own music or danced. And they would play games.
yes we do! the Acadians left the Dykes behind and that proofs it!
I believe you are referring to the acadians
The Acadians were French settlers in Canada who were ultimately expelled by the British. They migrated mostly to Louisiana.
The Acadians were descendants from France, so when the British took control of the acadians, they said they didn't want to take sides, they would not fight in a war agaisnt their own, nor would they fight against the British. The British did not trust the acadians, they thought they would turn their back on them so they decided to deport them. Every day leading up to the deportation, the acadians lived in fear but had to live their lives as normally as possible.
