The Acadians wanted to save their land but they were born in France and due to them being French the Acadians automatticaly swore loyalty to the French.Due to this the Acadians were unable and did not want to give their loyalty to Britain and it's rulers.Their born country was more important to most Acadians in Acadia.Ther were 12,000 Acadians living in Acadia and 10,000 did not take the oath and swear loyalty to Britain.So that means 2,000 Acadians wanted land and 10,000 wantted their home loyalty.
