The Acadian Exiles is a historical non-fiction book written by Arthur G. Doughty. The book tells the story of the Acadian people, who were French settlers in Nova Scotia, Canada, and their forced deportation by the British during the French and Indian War. The book covers the period from 1755 to 1763 and provides a detailed account of the events leading up to the expulsion of the Acadians, as well as their experiences during and after the deportation. Doughty draws on a variety of primary sources, including letters, official documents, and eyewitness accounts, to paint a vivid picture of the Acadian people and their struggle to maintain their identity and culture in the face of British imperialism. He also explores the political and economic factors that led to the deportation, as well as the impact it had on both the Acadians and the broader history of North America.Overall, The Acadian Exiles is an important and informative work that sheds light on a little-known chapter in Canadian and American history. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of colonialism, imperialism, and the struggle for cultural identity.Having removed the menace of the French forts, Lawrence was now able to deal more freely with the question of the Acadians. The opportunity for action was not long in presenting itself. In June the Acadians of Minas presented to Lawrence a petition couched in language not as tactful as it might have been. In this memorial they requested the restoration of some of their former privileges. They first assured the lieutenant-governor of their fidelity, which they had maintained in face of threats on the part of the French, and of their determination to remain loyal when in the enjoyment of former liberties.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
