France had earlier lost mainland Nova Scotia in a war with Britain, but the Acadians had been allowed to remain on their land. War with France was once again looming on the horizon. The British were concerned that the Acadian population might take up arms and support the French. They demanded that the Acadians declare an oath of allegiance to Britain. When the Acadians demured, their deportation was ordered and enforced.
