You are the one who was saying the British kicked out the Acadians. They did not send them to Louisiana. The Spanish did. Evidently they didn't think much of the French either. Oh boy...I always thought you were one of the few logical factual posters in here. The British certainly did disperse the Acadians...including a good portion to Swampland USA. And when are the British going to send money to their former slaves descendants? |

Another reference According to Cajun Country, after Spain gained control of Louisiana in the mid-1760s, Acadian exiles "who had been repatriated to France volunteered to the king of Spain to help settle his newly acquired colony." The Spanish government accepted their offer and paid for the transport of 1,600 settlers. When they arrived in Louisiana in 1785, colonial forts continued Spain's services to Acadian pioneers (which officially began with a proclamation by Governor Galvez in February of 1778). Forts employed and otherwise sponsored the settlers in starting their new lives by providing tools, seed corn, livestock, guns, medical services, and a church.

Seems like Bill asked the right person. We'll just add that to the list of questions you're too ball-less to answer, eh Donna? |

Read mo http://www.everyculture.com/multi/A-...#ixzz5LFKAhWn0 You're doing the same thing with Donna that you do with Harry - presenting facts. You'll most likely get the same response you get from Harry - bull****. It is actually a pretty interesting read. There are about a dozen articles you get on the top 2 pages of a google search. A few are fluff but some were pretty interesting about the forced migration of the Acadians from Canada (the polite term for being herded onto slave ships and hauled away) and what happened to them. I always knew they mostly came from Canada because they were on the wrong side if the French and Indian war but I did not realize how forcefully they were moved. |
