The British took control of Acadia primarily due to its strategic location and resources, which were valuable for trade and military purposes. The region was contested between the French and British during various conflicts, particularly during the French and Indian War. Acadia's capture allowed the British to consolidate their power in North America and diminish French influence in the region. Additionally, control over Acadia facilitated westward expansion and secured vital supply routes.

The British on the other hand, only cared about colonizing the land.. not soo much about the people.
