Download or read book The Acadians of Nova Scotia written by Sally Ross and published by Nimbus Publishing (CN). This book was released on 1992 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first work devoted exclusively to Acadians in Nova Scotia, this book presents a thorough study of Acadian history from the earliest days of French settlement to present-day Acadian communities. Authors Sally Ross and Alphonse Deveau draw on original seventeenth-century texts, as well as up-to-date sources. They examine the history of the Expulsion--the Grand Dérangement--that began in 1755, and trace the return of the Acadians and their resettlement in seven areas of the province. The authors highlight the distinct features that have developed within these different regions of Nova Scotia and discuss the choices and challenges faced by Acadians today: the linguistic assimilation and preservation of a distinct culture against pressures from the mainstream culture. Acadians of Nova Scotia won the 1993 Dartmouth Book Award for non-fiction and the 1993 Evelyn Richardson Memorial Literary Prize for non-fiction.

Norton & Company. This book was released on 2006-02-17 with total page 609 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Altogether superb: an accessible, fluent account that advances scholarship while building a worthy memorial to the victims of two and a half centuries past." —Kirkus Reviews (starred review) In 1755, New England troops embarked on a "great and noble scheme" to expel 18,000 French-speaking Acadians ("the neutral French") from Nova Scotia, killing thousands, separating innumerable families, and driving many into forests where they waged a desperate guerrilla resistance. The right of neutrality; to live in peace from the imperial wars waged between France and England; had been one of the founding values of Acadia; its settlers traded and intermarried freely with native Mikmaq Indians and English Protestants alike. But the Acadians' refusal to swear unconditional allegiance to the British Crown in the mid-eighteenth century gave New Englanders, who had long coveted Nova Scotia's fertile farmland, pretense enough to launch a campaign of ethnic cleansing on a massive scale. John Mack Faragher draws on original research to weave 150 years of history into a gripping narrative of both the civilization of Acadia and the British plot to destroy it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The conquest of Port-Royal by British forces in 1710 is an intensely revealing episode in the history of northeastern North America. Bringing together multi-layered perspectives, including the conquest's effects on aboriginal inhabitants, Acadians, and New Englanders, and using a variety of methodologies to contextualise the incident in local, regional, and imperial terms, six prominent scholars form new conclusions regarding the events of 1710. The authors show that the processes by which European states sought to legitimate their claims, and the terms on which mutual toleration would be granted or withheld by different peoples living side by side are especially visible in the Nova Scotia that emerged following the conquest. Important on both a local and global scale, The 'Conquest' of Acadia will be a significant contribution to Acadian history, native studies, native rights histories, and the socio-political history of the eighteenth century.

Download or read book The Battle for Nova Scotia written by Ronald Gaffney and published by Pageturner Press and Media. This book was released on 2021-08-21 with total page 564 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the time of its capture by British and New England forces in 1710, the French Colony of "Acadia" in the American Northeast was contested by France, French Acadian settlers and the First Nations or "Indian" tribes of the region. They attacked the isolated English presence at, "Annapolis Royal" (formerly the French colonial capital of "Port Royal") and made periodic attempts to wrestle the renamed British Colony of "Nova Scotia" away from its new conquerors after France formally ceded the Colony to Great Britain in 1713. The story of the Battle for Nova Scotia begins, however, during so-called "King Georges War" in America (1744-1748) with a renewed French effort to seize the only two English settlements in Nova Scotia, Annapolis Royal and the English fishing station at Canso. Between 1746 and 1763 France made a determined effort to maintain its presence in "Old Acadia" but succumbed to a British campaign to both preserve and enlarge its Colony of Nova Scotia. Yet, just when Great Britain finally felt secure in Nova Scotia, it came under attack from American rebels bent on establishing a new, independent Republic along the Atlantic Seaboard. The characters in our trilogy of tales are witness to the tumultuous events of the period 1746 to 1815 in Nova Scotia and live, love and struggle in the heat of the desperate Battle for Nova Scotia.
