The Acadian Deportation - 1755http://www0.umoncton.ca/maum/mainframe_an.html This painting (George Craig, The Expulsion of the Acadians, 1893) shows Grand-Pré in September 1755. The British officer on horseback is holding the orders for the deportation. The Acadian men and boys are prisoners in the church awaiting ships to deport them to the southern English colonies.
