 The British deported the Acadians and burned their villages at Chignecto to prevent their return.The Acadian Exodus from Nova Scotia during the war spared most of those who joined it – particularly those who went to Ile St. Jean and Ile Royal – from the British expulsion of the Acadians in 1755.However, with the fall of Louisbourg in 1758, the Acadians who left for the French colonies were deported as well.
