2012 America the Beautiful Quarters Program Lesson Plans--Acadia News of the Acadians Acadia National Park Quarter Grades Nine through Twelve OBJECTIVE Students will demonstrate an understanding of the history of the Acadians who lived in the area of Acadia National Park. SUBJECT AREA CONNECTION Social Studies (American History) SUMMARY 1. Display and examine the Acadia National Park Quarter design. Locate this site on a class map. As background information, explain to the students that the United States Mint began to issue the quarters in the America the Beautiful Quarters® Program in 2010. By the time the program ends in 2021, there will be a total of 56 designs on the back of the coin. Each design will focus on a different national site—one from each state, territory, and the District of Columbia. 2. Focus on the region of Acadia and its historical development. In a class discussion, solicit any facts that students may already know about the area and people or any- thing that they are able to deduce from the geographical location or their study of American History. 3. Divide the class into groups. Using the “Timeline of Acadian History” worksheet, have each group research and create a timeline of the history of Acadia concentrat- ing on the main people, events, and trends in the development of this area (such as native population, French settlement, and fur trading). 4. Explain to the students that there were no newspapers in this area during much of the settlement of North America, but they are going to pretend there were. Each group is the staff of The Frontier News, a newspaper that could have been distrib- uted in early Acadia. Have each of the group members take on one of these roles: news, editorials, political cartoons, ads, and classified ads. Have them plan and ex- ecute the layout as a group and cover one event or period from their timeline. Mul- timedia presentations or printed versions can then be presented to the entire class. ASSESSMENT • Take anecdotal notes about the students’ participation in class discussions. • Evaluate the students’ worksheets and projects for understanding of the lesson ob- jectives.

    AWAY BUT STILL AT HOME: A HISTORY OF SOUTH SHORE NOVA SCOTIAN ACADIANS DURING THE SECOND WORLD WAR by Ryan Alan d’Eon BA in History with Honours, Acadia University, 2016 A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in the Graduate Academic Unit of History Supervisor: Marc Milner, PhD History Examining Board: Erin Morton, PhD, History, Chair Lisa Todd, PhD, History Chantal Richard, PhD, French This thesis is accepted by the Dean of Graduate Studies THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW BRUNSWICK May, 2018 ©Ryan Alan d’Eon, 2018 Abstract This thesis focuses specifically on south shore Nova Scotian Acadians. The first chapter discusses Acadian identity and demonstrates their support for the war which derived from wanting to protect their religion. Their connectedness to their communities, fostering of good relations, and support for the nation and Empire is also highlighted. The second chapter then focuses on how Acadian civilians supported the war through community gatherings and demonstrates that their support, which benefitted the nation and the Empire, also aided their communities. The third and final chapter highlights how many Acadians from south shore Nova Scotia served during the war and how they were dedicated and patriotic despite facing discrimination. The thesis concludes that south shore Nova Scotian Acadians were motivated to protect their religion as it was being stripped from Europeans. They also recognised the importance of supporting the nation and Empire while at the same time, staying loyal to their communities. ii Dedication To my aunt Lucille d’Entremont and my grandmother Marceline d’Eon iii Acknowledgements First off, I would like to thank Dr.

  • What Caused the Deportation Oe the Acadians? by James P
    74 American Antiquarian Society. [April, WHAT CAUSED THE DEPORTATION OE THE ACADIANS? BY JAMES P. BAXTER. IT seems safe to observe that all historical analyses require documentary evidence to satisfy the critical spirit of the present age. In such analyses, the imaginative faculty is not permitted to enjoy the scope which was onee accorded it, and the Avriter Avho overlooks this incurs grave responsi- bilities. An author, however, is not to be held to too severe account for missing evidence. He may use due diligence in seeking it, and yet miss valuable matter to which access is difficult, or unknown to him ; nay, it happens, that one's very familiarity with a subject some- times renders him oblivious to an important detail close at hand ; hence one should be chary in ascribing lapses of this sort to wilful oversight. Again, it seems safe to obs'erve, that in estimating the moral contents of an act of the past, we should take into account the difference between the standards then a;nd now employed, as well as the social conditions and political exigeneies of the time. These reflections have been prompted by a late severe arraignment of certain historical workers, one of whom is no less than the late Francis Parkman of happy memory, who in treating of the Acadians, is accused not-only of wilfully misrepresenting and distorting facts, but of ma- liciously suppressing evidence in their favor, in order to strengthen the case of his English forebears.' Little did the author of " Evangeline " realize, when he penned that Vide Acaclia, New York, Home Book Company; Montreal, John Lovell & Son.

The history of the Acadians in North America is both unique and largely unknown. To this day, history textbooks have dedicated but a few pages to them, mostly to underscore their deportation in 1755. Yet, the Acadian presence in Canada is far from negligible or anecdotal. While the Acadians’ settlement was established in the early decades of the seventeenth century, their history continues well into the present day. In this booklet, the origins of this ethnic group and its history, from the first decades of the seventeenth century to the beginning of the nineteenth century, will be explored.

  • Acadian Emigration to Lle Royale After · . the Conquest of Acadia
    Acadian Emigration to lle Royale After · .the Conquest of Acadia by Bernard POTHIER * · The phase of the. struggle for empire in America which ended with the Peace of Utrecht in ·1713 left France weakened and substantially transformed the geographic setting of her North Atlantic colonies. Despite the enfeebled state of the realm, however, her experience and resources allowed France to react vigourously. During the winter of 1712-13, in anticipation of the terms of the Peace, Louis XIV's govern­ ment took steps to minimize the effects of its losses. In the North Atlantic, where France had been compelled to cede both Newfoundland and Acadia to Great Britain, the islands of St. Jean and Cap ·Breton had not been affected by the Peace. It was upon the latter that the authorities laid the foundations of the new colony of lle Royale. This venture was prompted primarily by economic considerations: the French aimed above all to re-establish the lucrative cod fishery of the Grand Banks. 1 Attendant upon this scheme was the desire to establish a viable colony on lle Royale, ·something never achieved on Newfoundland, which, it was hoped, would provide the security which the fishery had hitherto lacked. Accordingly, Louishourg, the seat of government for the colony, soon became an entrepot of trade largely as a result of the colony's supply of fish. 2 Three steps were necessary to launch the new colony on this basis. First, the civil and military officers and the troops of both the ceded colonies had to he moved to Ile Royale.

Thomas ii ABSTRACT This study examines the social, cultural, and political discontinuities found among Acadians who settled in Louisiana after their deportation from Atlantic Canada in 1755. Historians studying the Acadians’ early years of arrival and resettlement in Louisiana have drawn readers’ attention to the preservation of Acadian cultural and social attributes. These works tell how in spite of their need to adapt to life in a southern borderland region, the Acadians who arrived in Louisiana retained important qualities of their pre-dispersal identity.

Conclusion 2 Introduction Richard Day distinguishes among three prevalent usages of multiculturalism in his text Multiculturalism and the History of Canadian Diversity (2000). They are: “to describe (construct) a sociological fact of Canadian diversity; to prescribe a social ideal; and to describe and prescribe a government policy or act as a response to the fact and an implementation of the political ideal (Angus 1997: 139; Kallen 1982:51)” (Day, 2000, p.6). In addition, he includes a fourth category of multiculturalism as an already achieved ideal.1 This conference paper draws upon Day’s third definition of description and prescription through an analysis of Canadian state policy.
