Summary
In 1755, English colonial officials forcibly expell close to 10,000 French-speaking Acadians from their lands in Nova Scotia, lands that have been in Acadian hands for almost 150 years. What follows is the eipic story of a group of people played as pawns in a struggle between two empires. It is a saga of death and dislocation that reverberates to this day, an event unparalleled in the higtory of the colonization of North America
