From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I don't see the relevance of the Carib "ethnic cleansing". What does it have to do with Acadians?

The Acadians living in that region which was Nova Scotia were British subjects and did not have to swear any oath whatsoever ... plus war between England and France was officially declared in 1756. The Acadian were deported in a time of peace .. not on the whim of Lawrence but with the blessing and with political direction from the Crown.

It was not a time of peace. There were intermittent clashes since the end of the North American phase of the War of the Austrian Succession. Real war broke out in the colonies in 1754. 24.222.64.85 06:30, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
