This reading log is about the immigration of Acadian people to pre confederation Canada. The British became anxious about the Acadians in the 18th century because the British were beginning to take war like measures. “ The American historian, Lawrence Hemy Gipson con- the Acadian deportation a matter of “warlike measures-just as were those involved in the driving of hundreds of Pennsylvania traders from their trading establishments in the Ohio valley in 1753 by the French” (Gipson, Great War 264; British Empire, vol. VI)” (337). It is also debated that the British simply decided to take action as they saw the neutral stands as a threat. The had also just dealt with another exile a few years earlier. I believe that the British were threatened by the Acadians stand of neutrality and wanted to have control over the people, the power, and the land.
