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.

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.
