Acadia was a French colony of New France in northeastern North America. It didn't have a capital city.
British North AmericaYes, it was called British North America. This was to designate where we now call Canada. It was called British North America because the British had control over hear and it was to the North of America (It still is). The AcadiansIf you are wondering about the Acadians they lived in where we now call Atlantic Canada but they call Acadia. The Acadians were French Immigrants/Settlers.
In the past French territories in North America included Canada and Acadia, Louisiana, Florida and parts of the West indies. (New France) . All that is left are the islands of Saint Pierre and Miquelon

Before the French and Indian War (the Seven Years War), the French held the colonies of Canada (Quebec) and Acadia, which were north of the British colonies in North America, and Louisiana, a vast and undefined territory west of the Mississippi River which included the city of New Orleans. After the French and Indian War, the English held Quebec and deported many of the French inhabitants of Acadia to various locations along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts, ultimately creating the Cajun (Acadian) culture near New Orleans as those refugees gathered there. France eventually sold Louisiana to the United States of America.
Early European possessions in North America included Spanish Florida, Spanish New Mexico, the English colonies of Virginia (with its North Atlantic off-shoot, Bermuda) and New England, the French colonies of Acadia and Canada, the Swedish colony of New Sweden, and the Dutch New Netherland.
The deportation of the Acadians really hasn't ended yet, and maybe it never will. Each year, descendants of the deported Acadians return on a pilgrimage to Acadia, from all over North America, in search of their roots.
