Yes, most Acadians were forcibly relocated during the Great Expulsion by the British in the mid-18th century. This event, also known as the Acadian Expulsion, resulted in many Acadians being dispersed throughout North America and Europe.

The British wanted the Acadians to agree to the Oath of Allegiance, which they did to avoid any further complications. But for some reason it didn't get sent back to Britain so the British thought that the Acadians were against them and that is why the British deported them in 1755.
When the Acadians were expelled from their land during the Great Expulsion (1755-1764), much of their territory in present-day Nova Scotia was taken over by British colonial settlers. The British government resettled Loyalists and other settlers in these regions, leading to significant demographic and cultural changes. Additionally, some Acadian lands were appropriated by New Englanders who sought new opportunities in the aftermath of the expulsion.
Telling the story of the expulsion of the Acadians is vital for understanding the historical context of cultural displacement and the impact of colonial policies on communities. It highlights the resilience of the Acadian people and their ongoing struggle for recognition and justice. This narrative also serves as a reminder of the consequences of intolerance and the importance of preserving cultural heritage, fostering empathy and awareness in contemporary society. Sharing this story contributes to a broader dialogue about identity, belonging, and the values of diversity and inclusion.

The Acadians began returning to Canada in the mid-1760s, following their expulsion by the British during the French and Indian War, which started in 1755. Many settled in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Prince Edward Island. The process of resettlement continued over the following years, with significant numbers returning until around 1785.
During the French and Indian War, British colonial officers and New England legislators and militia carried out the Great Expulsion of 1755-1763. They deported approximately 11,500 Acadians from the maritime region. Approximately one-third perished from disease and drowning. One historian compared this event to a contemporary ethnic cleansing, while other historians suggested that the event is comparable with other deportations in history. Many later settled in Louisiana, where they became known as Cajuns. Others were transported to France.
