What was the great deportation?

Answer 1

The Great Deportation (1755-1763), also known as "the Great Acadian Expulsion", took place when the British were worried that the French would rebel against them. They made the Acadians sign an oath of neutrality, and later an oath of allegiance that meant they would fight against the French, their own culture. Many would not sign and were deported from their lands by the British.

When the Acadians were forced by the British to fight for them in wars against France, they refused. Angered, the British shipped them off to the Thirteen Colonies, and other places in the New World (notably Louisiana). More than 14,000 Acadians were shipped away, and nearly 5000 died in the process.

Answer 2

The Expulsion of the Acadians, also known as the Great Upheaval, the Great Expulsion, The Deportation, the Acadian Expulsion, and called by the deportees, Le Grand Dérangement (the Big Disturbance), was the forced population transfer of the French Acadian population from Nova Scotia and New Brunswick (an area known as Acadie to the French) to other British controlled colonies between 1755 and 1763.
