In this episode of The Story of Canada, Lucas and Luna explore the Acadian Expulsion of 1755, a brutal chapter in colonial history. They trace the Acadians' roots back to 1604 at Port-Royal, their century of neutrality as a 'neutral French' buffer between British and French empires, and the moment the British governor Charles Lawrence forced them to swear unconditional allegiance to the Crown. Lucas reveals the mechanics of the deportation—7,000 people loaded onto ships, families torn apart—and its aftermath: the 'Grand Dérangement' that scattered Acadians to Louisiana (where they became Cajuns), France, and Québec. They discuss the burning of villages, the seizure of land that opened Nova Scotia to New England settlers, and the psychological impact of diaspora. Longfellow's epic poem Evangeline is examined for its role in shaping memory, alongside the more recent 2003 royal proclamation acknowledging the wrong. The episode ends by reflecting on how forced migration echoes through Canadian identity today.
