The Acadians were viewed as a threat by the British during the 18th century primarily due to their strong ties to France and the Catholic Church, which raised suspicions about their loyalty during the ongoing conflicts between Britain and France. Their refusal to pledge allegiance to the British Crown and their distinct cultural identity further fueled tensions. As a result, the British sought to neutralize this perceived threat by forcibly expelling the Acadian population during the Great Expulsion of the 1750s, leading to significant displacement and suffering.
