Zeke, I too have a family history steeped and deeply effected by that very history. Being of Acadian and Micmac decent on my Mother side. Having lived with the written and oral history of family's separated at that time and some sent to Louisiana. Mine happen to run away with the Micmac's and hide thus staying in Acadia.
But too realize that no one person alive today had anything to do with those events. I do not hate the English for this separation and land grab, for it is in the past. I just hate that we do not learn from the past in how to better treat one another.
