How did the Cajuns end up in the American south?

The Cajuns are descendants of Acadians, French settlers who colonized parts of Canada, particularly present-day Nova Scotia. After the British conquest of Acadia in the mid-18th century, many Acadians were expelled during the Great Expulsion (1755-1764) and sought refuge in various regions, including Louisiana. Over time, these exiles assimilated with local populations, adopting elements of French culture and language, which evolved into the unique Cajun identity we recognize today in the American South.
