The French and Indian War (1754-1764) reinforced anti-French sentiment in the Thirteen Colonies. The conflict strengthened an age-old distrust of the French which had been prevalent among the colonists due to constant wars, and led to events such as the forced deportation of the Acadians, who subsequently moved to (among other places) Louisiana. The Acadian French brought a profound French influence to the diet of settlers in Louisiana, but had little influence outside of that region.
