In 1755, New England troops embarked on a "great and noble scheme" to expel 18,000 French-speaking Acadians from Nova Scotia, killing thousands, separating innumerable families, and driving many into forests where they waged a desperate guerrilla resistance. The right of neutrality - to live in peace from the imperial wars waged between France and England - had been one of the founding values of Acadia. John Mack Faragher draws on original research to weave 150 years of history into a gripping narrative of both the civilization of Acadia and the British plot to destroy it.

The fate of my ancestors.
Revisado: 03-04-24
This book is a thorough account of the actions that led up to the expulsion of my Acadian ancestors from L'Acadie, NS. It is an example of intertwined descendancies that I am descended from those who were expelled and those who replaced them. All this from one set of my grandparents.
