The Acadians left France primarily due to political and religious reasons. In the 17th century, France was experiencing religious conflicts, particularly between Catholics and Protestants. Additionally, the Acadians faced political instability and were seeking economic opportunities in the New World. These factors, along with the promise of land and religious freedom in Acadia (present-day Nova Scotia), motivated the Acadians to leave France.

What experiences did the acadian encounter after France lost control of this region to the british in 1713?
The Acadians were descendants from France, so when the British took control of the acadians, they said they didn't want to take sides, they would not fight in a war agaisnt their own, nor would they fight against the British. The British did not trust the acadians, they thought they would turn their back on them so they decided to deport them. Every day leading up to the deportation, the acadians lived in fear but had to live their lives as normally as possible.
Major event that led to the acadian expulsion?
The British wanted the Acadians to agree to the Oath of Allegiance, which they did to avoid any further complications. But for some reason it didn't get sent back to Britain so the British thought that the Acadians were against them and that is why the British deported them in 1755.
Who are Acadian?
are the descendants of the 17th-century French colonists who settled in Acadia, a colony of New France. The colony was located in what is now Eastern Canada's Maritime provinces (Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Prince Edward Island), as well as part of Quebec, and present-dayMaine to the Kennebec River. Although today most of the Acadians and Québécoisare French speaking (francophone) Canadians, Acadia was a distinct colony of New France, and was geographically and administratively separate from the French colony of Canada (modern day Quebec), which led to Acadians and Québécois developing two rather distinct histories and cultures.[3]The settlers whose descendants became Acadians came from "all the regions of France but coming predominantly directly from the cities".
Why were the acadian expelled?
The Acadians were expelled for multiple reasons. First of all, when the land came under British control they refused to sign the Utrech Treaty, whic would make it so that if there was a war between the british and french colonies the Acians would side with the british and not the french. The Acadians wished to stay neutral in such a situation so they didn't sign it.Second of all a British admiral (who the name escapes me at the moment) thought it was unfair that the Acadians got the better land and not the English.There is other small reasons but these are some of the main reasons.
