The Acadians, originally from present-day Canada, were forcibly expelled by the British from their homeland in the mid-18th century during the Great Expulsion (1755-1764). Many sought refuge in the United States, particularly in Louisiana, where they became known as Cajuns. Despite facing challenges in adapting to their new environment, they preserved their unique culture, language, and traditions, which continue to influence the region's identity today. The Acadian diaspora significantly enriched the cultural landscape of Louisiana and other areas in the U.S. where they settled.
