Tragedy of Acadia Told Through a Poet Narrative
A Baltimore Sun essay cites John Francis Ariga on how Acadia, now Nova Scotia, was shaped by French settlement from 1604 and the later expulsion of Acadians in 1755 under Lieutenant Governor Lawrence. Winslow’s 1755 orders forced removal, seizing lands and goods, as ships carried families to Maryland Virginia and Pennsylvania while fires destroyed homes to prevent refuge.
