NO
the people who were deported were the acadians
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.
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.

The Acadian deportation, which occurred between 1755 and 1763, led to the forced removal of thousands of Acadians from their homeland in present-day Nova Scotia. This event resulted in the fragmentation of Acadian communities, loss of cultural identity, and significant trauma for those affected. Many Acadians were scattered across different regions, including France and the American colonies, leading to a diaspora that would take generations to rebuild their communities. The deportation also had lasting impacts on the cultural landscape of Canada, contributing to tensions between English and French populations.
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.
"le Grand Dérangement" is the historical period and process of deportation of French-speaking Acadians, in the second part of the 1700s. It is called "great upheaval" in English.
The Great Deportation, also known as the Acadian Expulsion, took place between 1755 and 1763 in Acadia, which is present-day Nova Scotia, Canada. British authorities forcibly removed around 10,000 Acadians from their homeland as reprisal for their refusal to pledge allegiance to the British crown.
The Great Deportation (1755-1763), also known as "the Great Acadian Expulsion", took place when the British were worried that the French would rebel against them. They made the Acadians sign an oath of neutrality, and later an oath of allegiance that meant they would fight against the French, their own culture. Many would not sign and were deported from their lands by the British. --- When the Acadians were forced by the British to fight for them in wars against France, they refused. Angered, the British shipped them off to the Thirteen Colonies, and other places in the New World (notably Louisiana). More than 14,000 Acadians were shipped away, and nearly 5000 died in the process.
Tension and mistrust arising from the war between New France and 13 English colonies led to the expulsion of the Acadians. The British thought the Acadians were a threat to appropriation of the land. The Acadians also failed to make an unqualified oath of allegiance to the British Crown.
The conflicts between the French and British in Europe, particularly the ongoing struggle for colonial dominance during the Seven Years' War, influenced the Great Deportation of the Acadians in 1755. The British viewed the Acadians, who had strong ties to France, as potential allies of the French. As tensions escalated, the British sought to eliminate this perceived threat by forcibly deporting the Acadian population from Nova Scotia, aiming to consolidate control and secure the region for British interests. This decision was driven by both military strategy and the desire to prevent any support for French forces in North America.
