Acadians

By Jesse Russell

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles The Acadians (French: Acadiens, IPA: ) are the descendants of the 17th-century French colonists who settled in Acadia (located in the Canadian Maritime provinces - Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Prince Edward Island - as well as part of Quebec, and in the U.S. state of Maine). Acadia was a colony of New France. Although today most of the Acadians and Qu b cois are French speaking (francophone) Canadians, Acadia was a distinct colony of New France, and was geographically and administratively separate from the French colony of Canada (modern day Quebec), which led to Acadians and Qu b cois developing two rather distinct histories and cultures. The settlers whose descendants became Acadians came from "all the regions of France but coming predominantly directly from the cities."
