Acadian Deportation and Return, 1750-1803
Notes
Overview
The British decision, in 1755, to expel allegedly disloyal Acadian (French) settlers
from the Bay of Fundy region is a blot on Canada's image as a welcoming land where immigrants
could make new beginnings. By 1800 many Acadians had returned to Maritime Canada, and today the
experience still resonates through story, song and memorials.
