They were called the Acadians
They created Acadia.
In 1713 the French king gave present day Nova Scotia to Britain. The British told the Acadians that they would either swear allegiance to Britain or they must leave.

The Acadians lived in Nova Scotia until they were driven out by the British, when they moved to Louisianna. Eventually they were allowed to move back.
Present day New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and northern Maine.
The Acadian Exodus from Nova Scotia happened between 1755 and 1765.
Acadians (Cajuns)
Nova Scotia, Canada
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.
Acadians are predominantly found in the Canadian provinces of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island. There are also Acadian communities in parts of Quebec, Maine, and Louisiana.
