Why is the colony of acadia so important?
sry about that... some stupid person put that in there... No the real answer is... Acadia is important to New France because it was a colony in which they lived in. Many Mi'kmaq first nations lived with the Acadians because they established great trading relationships. The British on the other hand, only cared about colonizing the land.. not soo much about the people. In 1749, British conqured Acadia and France became only two islands called Saint Pierre and Miquelon. The British kicked the First Nations off the land that used to be Acadia so that the British could start setting up their own colonies.
When did the Acadians settle?
Settlers from France were the first Europeans to settle in the land they called "Acadia". These people became known as Acadians. Acadia was the name the French gave to what we now know as Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and parts of New Brunswick, the Gasp
Who were the Acadians?
They were the French settlers in Nova Scotia. The French called it Acadia after the Indian name for the area. It went back and forth between the British and french throughout the 17th and early 18th centuries. The British gained final control in 1713. In 1755, with war with France looming the British became concerned about the loyalty of the French population and deported many of them. Several thousand of them settled in Louisiana, which was then French territory. Over time after Louisiana became American the word Acadian was corrupted to Cajun which is how their descendants, including me, are known to this day.Michael MontagneAnswerfrench settlers AnswerThe Acadians were the first Europeans (besides the Vikings) to land in the Maritime provinces. They lived content and happy lives. Even though the Acadians weren't interrested in the rest of the world, most of it was interrested in acadia (and all of North America.) In 1713 Britain and France went into war over acadia. They both wanted it for them selfs. A few years later the French signed a peace treaty saying that Brittain could have Acadia, that meant that the Acadians were now on Brittish property. The Brittish said that the Acadians could live on the land for one year, but after that the Acadians had to swear allegience to the Brittish. But the Acadians didn't want to do that because it meant that they would have to go against France if another war ever broke out between Britain and France. So they pursauded the Brittish to allow them to stay in Acadia. The Brittish relunctly agreed. Soon the acadians loyaltie to the French became an issue. The Brittish didn't trust the Acadians anymore so they made them leave their homes in Acadia. Most of them left and settled in Loisianna.AnswerAcadians were people who were actually French people but they moved acrosss the ocean a long time ago when this land was first found. AnswerThey simply didnt "leave". Acadians were French settlers who were forceably removed from their homes,loaded into ships and dropped up and down the east coast.Some were called into special town meetings at local churches and once they were inside,they were herded onto ships to be taken away.Most never saw their families again.The region known as the St John Valley in Northern Maine is inhabited by Acadians.The ones who escaped the Grande Derangement came here because the English ships couldn't make the falls in the St John river in which is now located the community of Grand Falls,New Brunswick.After the Webster Ashburton treaty,many of them became US citizens.Google:Grande Derangement,Evangeline (the poem)
What is Acadia National Day?
Acadians, while they are French Canadians, have an identity that is distinct and separate from those that are Québecois or Metis. Our back ground is that of the earliest settlers. Our history begins with those brave first settlers on the island in the St. Croix River. Acadians have a personality that is close to the earth, close to our beginings. In an attempt to set ourselves apart the date August 15 ( the Catholic Feast of the Assumption) was chosen. A better explaination can be found on the CBC website

Where did the acadians live?
It depends on which land you are talking about. French settlers became known as Acadians by making their home in part of Nova Scotia in Canada, around 1605. They were removed from their homes and deported by the ruling English from Nova Scotia in 1755. This is the year they began to arrive in Louisiana, and the word "Acadian" evolved into "Cajun". this is wrong Before the 1600s there was no group of people known as Acadians. The group originated in the area of what is now Nova Scotia. So Acadians could not come to Canada as they didn't exist before Canada. The second contributor is splitting hairs a little. Of course there was no country called Canada when the first French settlers arrived on this continent. Take the spirit of the question, please. Actually, the first French settlement in this part of the world was at the St. Croix River, which is in Maine now. Acadians, who were (and are) distinct from the Quebecois of what became Lower Canada, could be found in what is now Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Prince Edward Island (then called Ile St. Jean). Because the French crown pretty much left them to their own devices in many regards, they developed a sense of community and social identity that was, indeed, distinct from their confreres up the St. Lawrence.
Why were the acadian expelled?
The Acadians were expelled for multiple reasons. First of all, when the land came under British control they refused to sign the Utrech Treaty, whic would make it so that if there was a war between the british and french colonies the Acians would side with the british and not the french. The Acadians wished to stay neutral in such a situation so they didn't sign it.Second of all a British admiral (who the name escapes me at the moment) thought it was unfair that the Acadians got the better land and not the English.There is other small reasons but these are some of the main reasons.
