Excerpt from "American Exiles: The History of the Montagnards" by Neil Haight

"...and between 1755 and 1763 the Acadians were forcibly deported from British East America into the Appalachians; the intent being to remove the entire people to the territory of French Louisiana. Little did the British expect that the vast majority of the displaced settlers would stay in the mountains, becoming both a source of continual trouble and a political asset against forbidden colonial expansion for years to come."
