Where are we going to go? Are we still going to see our families?
On September 5, 1755,418 Acadian men gathered at a church to discuss their expulsion.Acadians were to leave their homes behind with only what they could carry because they continued to supply the French.
Expulsion
You must leave...
I had nothing to do with this, I warned Joseph!
Acadians continued to supply French forts with food and wood even after signing Oath of Allegiance.
This should last you a winter!
Merci, Monsieur.
Around 7,000 Acadians were kicked out of their homes, some stayed with the Mi’kmaq, and others were split into other British colonies. (Some innocent and some who supplied the French forts.)
Your cattle will be sold, and the money will be used for your expenses! Now stop procrastinating, and get moving!
Wait! What about our cattle?
Stop procrastinating!
You must leave, NOW! Acadians shall no longer live here.
Why? We are innocent, you have the wrong people!
Thank you so much for taking our family in!
Some Acadians were sent to live with the Mi'kmaq, while other Acadians were sent on dangerous ships to go to other British colonies.
I think I speak for all Mi'kmaq when I say you are most welcome!
I am scared daddy!
It is okay sweetheart, I am here when you are frightened.
Acadians reunited, and they lived happily with the Acadians.
This is the most precious thing I have ever seen!
