| Description |
PLEASE, NO invitations or self promotions, THEY WILL BE DELETED. My photos are FREE to use, just give me credit and it would be nice if you let me know, thanks. This Church is a Memorial to the people who on September 5th, 1755 were told they would be deported. The people were held prisoner for a month until ships arrived to deport the families to various places. Governor Lawrence (Lieutenant Governor of Acadia stationed in Halifax) believed that the Acadians were a threat to the British. Though the Acadians had signed Allegiance to the British Crown that had promised they would never be asked to bear arms against France, the land of their birth. But when Governor Lawrence ordered them to take up arms against France for the British, the Acadians refused, the Order of Deportation was prepared. Governor Lawrence also took prisoners of the men (representatives of the Acadians) who had gone to meet with him in Halifax. Some of the men and boys imprisoned in the Church that day, would never see their families again. |
