Despite Great Britain's taking of Acadia in 1710, it remained a Catholic settlement. The Acadians refused to swear allegiance to the British crown. Many led assaults against the British, who decided to deport them. About 7,000 Acadians were deported to the lower United States. By 1764, a number of Acadians had settled in the Louisiana area. A former pejorative term, 'Cajuns,' was excepted to represent the former Acadians.
In that time, there was a lot of tension in Canada. France had just lost Canada to Britain, and Britain was uncomfortable with all of the French people in the area. The British had the Acadians pack up, and kicked them all from their homeland. They were sent to various places along the future US's east coast, and into the territory surrounding the Gulf of Mexico. Louisiana.
