Historians... have you heard of Acadia?

Recommended Posts

Is the history of Acadia being taught in schools, comprehensive or traditional? It is the history of french settlers to Canada in 1608, who choose to reclaim land from marshes in the bav of Fundi, some 5261 acres, a bay with tidal flows of 15 meters, and their hard work building sluices, dykes and weir's reclamation to successfully grow food kept them happy. They had no leader or accepted any Kings, just lived a quiet life in peace with the local native Mic maq population and intermarried increasing their creole heritage.

but why should I give you the short version when a historian can write their distopian history so much better. Enjoy a little of something many might have never heard about.

here is the Archaeological take on the effects of the Winslow declaration. Maybe someone who lives in France can research what the attitude of the French Government was when their settlers were dispossessed and evicted, had all their animals and fields destryed, the church burned down and the town destroyed.

Yes. I have heard of Acadia.Two fun facts about the Bay of Fundy. It is mentioned in a Joni Mitchell song. And has the record for the greatest difference in height between its low and high tide marks.
