When did Nova Scotia Canada become a province?

The first Europeans to colonize the territory that is now Nova Scotia and New Brunswick were the French, starting in 1608, who called it "Acadia." The British took over the territory in 1713 and renamed it "Nova Scotia," which means "New Scotland" in Latin. New Brunswick split away from Nova Scotia and became its own colony in 1784 after an influx of Loyalist refugees from the American Revolution settled there. Nova Scotia was also one of the first provinces in Confederation, when the remaining British Colonies in North America united to become what we know know as Canada in 1867


How did Louisiana become french before the English?

Louisiana was first discovered by the French in 1684. To this population was added a few hundred French people deported from Acadia in Canada (now Nova Scotia). The name Cajun comes from Cadien, the name of the Acadian exiles. Other French speakers from St Domingue/Haiti, and non-French speakers from many different cultures later joined the fray and contributed to what is now the Cajun language, which is hard to recognize to a French speaker from France.
