What does “The Great Upheaval” mean?
Deportation
Acadia was founded in the 17th century in Nova Scotia by the French. In 1713, it came under British rule. Acadians remained neutral during persistent conflicts between the French and the British. The latter, fearing that the Acadians would side with France, deported 10,000 of them to the United States, between 1755 and 1763. This event is known as the “Great Upheaval”.
I believe the information on this page is false.
Hello Keltie,
Being a westerner my knowledge of the great upheaval is very limited. What makes you think the information on this page is false?
Take care,

Think whatever you want Kellie, it doesn’t change the fact the Brits ruthlessly threw 10,000+ lives into a living hell! Even the Brits admit this!!
I wonder what Donald Trump would say to that!!
Fascinating bit of Canadian history! ?
