Description: "The story of the removal of the Acadians - who settled throughout the eastern United States and whose most famous descendants are the Cajuns of Louisiana - and the subsequent oppression of the Mi'kmaq has never been completely told.

In this first comprehensive, in-depth history of the events leading up to the ultimate break-up of Nova Scotian society, Geoffrey Plank unravels the complex relationships of all the groups involved, establishing the strong bonds between the Mi'kmaq and Acadians as well as the frustration of the British administrators.

An Unsettled Conquest shows how the unique circumstances of Nova Scotia provided the British with the incentive - and, in the 1750s, the opportunity - to implement proposals that had been debated and rejected in other parts of the empire, leading to one of the most infamous events in North American history."--BOOK JACKET.
