Charles Lawrence, the British colonial governor of Nova Scotia, asked the Acadians to take an unconditional oath of allegiance to the British Crown during the 1750s. When many Acadians refused, preferring to maintain their neutrality in the ongoing conflict between the British and the French, Lawrence ordered the expulsion of the Acadians from their lands. This led to the forced removal of thousands of Acadians in what became known as the Great Expulsion.
