Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Tercentenary History of Canada, Vol. 2: From Champlain to Laurier MDCVIII-MCMVIII The construction of Halifax and the coming of Cornwallis begin an era in the history of Acadia which ends with the complete pacification of the province through the forcible exile of the French inhabitants. It is an almost uninterruptible story, and for that reason it will be told at this point, although in its telling we are carried several years beyond the period at which we left the other parts of Canada. The coming of Cornwallis marked an era, for he began at once to secure a renewal of the oath of allegiance by the Acadians. Twenty years had gone since this oath was taken, and even then the oath was a slipshod affair, easily made and not difficult to break. Cornwallis reasoned that the new generation ought to be compelled to take an oath which should really mean something. Then arose a tumult which was not stilled until force was resorted to. This tumult was deliberately stirred up by the missionaries and priests of the Church, acting under the counsel of the governor-general of Canada and encouraged by the ministers of the king at Versailles.
