La Déportation Des Habitants de L'île Saint-Jean

 English:
Undertaken here in 1758, this expulsion was one of the largest and the deadliest of the Acadian deportations that took place between 1755 and 1762. As part of a strategy to dismantle the French colony of Île Saint-Jean during the Seven Years' War, the British forcibly transported more than 3,000 inhabitants to France. Over half died due to shipwreck or disease. Around 1,100 inhabitants evaded deportation, a few going into hiding on the island and many more finding refuge in nearby French territory. Today, Prince Edward Island's Acadian culture and French language testify to the resolve of all Acadians who settled here after the war.
Français:
L'une des plus massives et la plus meurtrière des déportations acadiennes (1755-1762) a lieu ici en 1758, durant la guerre de Sept Ans. Pour démanteler la colonie française de l'île Saint-Jean, les Britanniques exilent en France audelà de 3 000 habitants, dont plus de la moitié meurent à la suite de maladies ou de naufrages. Quelque 1 100 habitants échappent à al déportation, certains se cachant dans l'île, la plupart se réfugiant ailleurs en



territoire français. La culture acadienne et la langue française qui perdurent à l'Ile-du-Prince-Édouard témoignent de la détermination de tous les Acadiens qui s'y établissent après la guerre.
