Why did the british consider the acadians their enemy?
The British considered the Acadians their enemies primarily due to the Acadians' refusal to pledge allegiance to the British crown during the colonial conflicts, particularly the French and Indian War. Their strong ties to France and the Catholic Church made them suspect in the eyes of British authorities, who viewed them as potential collaborators with the French. This led to the deportation of thousands of Acadians in 1755, an event known as the Great Expulsion, as the British sought to eliminate any threats to their control in North America.
How did the British deal with potential internal threat posed by the Acadians?
The British dealt with the potential internal threat posed by the Acadians by forcibly deporting them during the Great Upheaval in 1755. This mass expulsion was aimed at neutralizing any loyalty the Acadians might have had to the French during the French and Indian War. The British confiscated Acadian lands and properties, leading to the displacement of thousands of Acadians, many of whom were scattered across various British colonies and other regions. This drastic measure effectively addressed the perceived threat but resulted in significant suffering for the Acadian population.
