Why did the Acadians migrate to Louisiana?
The Acadian diaspora came about when the Acadians refused to take an oath of allegiance to Britain. France had lost mainland Nova Scotia to Britain in a war, and the probability of another war with France was high. The Acadians had originally been allowed to remain on their lands, but Britain feared (with considerable justification) that they would support France and take up arms against Britain in a subsequent war. When the Acadians refused to swear an oath of allegiance to Britain, they were expelled from Nova Scotia. Many Acadians moved to Louisiana because it was still French territory at the time. Most Acadians did not simply "move" to Louisiana. They were often loaded into cattle barges and brought down the ease coast, the sick and dying were dropped off on the eastern coast en-route to the Louisiana swamps and marshes. The Acadians had also been expelled because their catholic faith had been made illegal by the English rulers in Canada. The Acadians refused to renounce the church and made the decision to accept their plight - to be exiled. Many were enslaved in Europe and their French language was omitted from the education system of Louisiana in an effort to destroy the culture. In Louisiana, they found new topography, unknown animals and an entire word that they had to name while separated from France. At this point, their French language began to develop into the language that some mistakenly describe as a "dialect" or as a "broken" form of French. In reality, the Acadians gave a living quality to the language by base creativity in the truest form. Some French arrived with the army of Napoleon and are not Acadians at all, but arrived from Europe as Europeans. They found a thriving, French speaking culture and many remained after the war. These people of French origin, although not Acadian (Cajun) originally are largely indistinguishable today due to the French language, French family names and due to the innacurate concept that all French speaking people of Louisiana must all be Cajun. In reality, many French speaking Louisiana families of several generations of French speaking people but are not originally Cajun.
