| Over the years, there was some movement of
population between Quebec (French Canada) and Acadia. As the English
attitude towards Acadians intensified in the early 1750's, more Acadians
moved westward to join with other Francophones. When the deportation
started in 1755, many Acadians sought refuge in Quebec. When 2000
Acadians escaped to Ile St. Jean, about 600 of the sick and elderly were
sent to Quebec. And when Louisbourg fell in 1758, many of the Acadians
on Ile St. Jean fled the island and headed to Quebec. Acadians continued
to move towards Quebec to escape English persecution and to find their
friends and relatives.
The Acadians of Quebec (Father Pierre Maurice Hebert), available at Quintin Publications, is your best printed resource. It is well documented and illustrated. |
