C. Acadia<br />
• Throughout 1755, the British suffered a series of<br />
defeats because the <strong>French</strong> skillfully outsmarted the<br />
mainly colonial militia by projecting military power<br />
without exercising it, and by relying on more<br />
experienced field commanders.<br />
• As a consequence, the British feared a “fifth column”<br />
appearing in Acadia, so they deported the <strong>French</strong>speaking<br />
population to the Thirteen Colonies,<br />
Louisiana, and France.<br />
• This event marks one of the darkest periods in<br />
Canadian History, as a governing authority sought<br />
the extermination of a race of people by removing<br />
them from their ancestral land.<br />
