As to Jefferson and the Acadians, there is no relationship. However,I made a comment on Jefferson's involvement in colonization of African Americans to Africa. One response was: "The British moved freed Africans, who had supported them, back to Africa, after Yorktown".

The suggestion was (as I took it) that the British moved Africans back to Africa, as if it was a reward for their loyality...My tongue in cheek comment (don't trust promises of a reward from the British) was, yes like the reward the Acadians received from the British...who tricked them to attend a meeting, and shipped them off to deplorable conditions (at the time)...the history of this abounds in books. As to today's standards, in the winter Louisana looks pretty good, compared to snow in the winter in eastern Canada....But few on eather side would likely choose to change places.

(BTW, I am an ancestor of an Acadian who was murdered by the British in 1756 (shot by British solders when tending his fields in then Acadia)..only, because he refused to leave his homeland...But, I bear no grudges today...I am just suspicious of any government official who says they are going to do me a favour).
