1755 â British captured Fort Beausejour and expelled the French Acadians. The Accadians of Nova Scotia were uprooted by an English governor and forced to leave. Some 10,000 people moved to destinations like Maine and Louisiana. Some moved to Iles-de-la-Madeleine off Quebec. The Longfellow story âEvangelineâ is based on this displacement.
