The Acadians were forced to leave their lands during the Great Expulsion (1755-1764) due to British colonial policies aimed at consolidating control over Nova Scotia. The British viewed the Acadians, who were primarily French-speaking Catholics, as a potential threat during the ongoing conflict between Britain and France. As a result, thousands of Acadians were deported from their homes, leading to significant suffering and displacement. This event had lasting impacts on the Acadian community and their cultural identity.
why did the acadians refuse to fight the french
No the acadians were not accepted by the British colonists in America because they were foreign, but some made their way to Louisiana where the French did accept them.
because of the great upheavel
The British evicted them from their land therefore they were sent to the british colonies.
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.
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 expulsion of the acadians was NOT legal. The british colonies expelled them anyways.

The Acadians were French settlers in Canada who were ultimately expelled by the British. They migrated mostly to Louisiana.
The Acadians were expelled for multiple reasons. First of all, when the land came under British control they refused to sign the Utrech Treaty, whic would make it so that if there was a war between the british and french colonies the Acians would side with the british and not the french. The Acadians wished to stay neutral in such a situation so they didn't sign it.Second of all a British admiral (who the name escapes me at the moment) thought it was unfair that the Acadians got the better land and not the English.There is other small reasons but these are some of the main reasons.
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.

The Acadians were passed over to the French and British many times then after Confederation they became part of Canada.
