Expulsion of the Acadians
- Oath of Allegiance was a statement of loyalty to the British King; it was used to prevent revolting of the French
- King was English Protestant and French were Roman Catholic, Acadians refused to take the oath
- In 1755 approx. 12,000 people of French Acadian origin lived in Acadia, by 1760 about 10,000 of them had been expelled
- Many went to New Orleans
