One - The Expulsion of the Acadians, though touted as complete, forgets that there were many who DID swear the oath of allegiance to the British King. Also it conveniently ignores the numerous Acadians who escaped capture or custody of the British Army, prior to transport.

 

Two - Quite a number of the transplanted Acadians (later to become American Cajuns), returned, either on ships, or just simply walking across the countryside.

 

Three - Next YEAR is going to be a major celebration of family for Acadians. It marks the Expulsion, and the ties of family. The Acadians are trying to get the British Government to apologize (see WWII treatment of Nisei). So far, they are trying to claim that the Explusion was done by the British Colonial Government of the time, and/or the British Military in Nova Scotia.

They think people will ignore the fact that all the transports COST money. Do they think the Colonies had the funds to pay this fee? Or the British Military? Not likely. Anyway, good theories.

Fun discussion.
