The right of neutrality; to live in peace from the imperial wars waged between France and England; had been one of the founding values of Acadia; its settlers traded and intermarried freely with native Mikmaq Indians and English Protestants alike. But the Acadians' refusal to swear unconditional allegiance to the British Crown in the mid-eighteenth century gave New Englanders, who had long coveted Nova Scotia's fertile farmland, pretense enough to launch a campaign of ethnic cleansing on a massive scale. John Mack Faragher draws on original research to weave 150 years of history into a gripping narrative of both the civilization of Acadia and the British plot to destroy it.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 211mmItem Length: 142mmItem Width: 41mmItem Weight: 543gAuthor: John Mack FaragherGenre: HistoryRelease Year: 2010 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
