Answer:

Tensions ran high in Boston in early 1770. More than 2,000 British soldiers occupied the city of 16,000 colonists and tried to enforce Britain’s tax laws, like the Stamp Act and Townshend Acts. American colonists rebelled against the taxes they found repressive, rallying around the cry, “no taxation without representation.”

Skirmishes between colonists and soldiers—and between patriot colonists and colonists loyal to Britain (loyalists)—were increasingly common. To protest taxes, patriots often vandalized stores selling British goods and intimidated store merchants and their customers.

On February 22, a mob of patriots attacked a known loyalist’s store. Customs officer Ebenezer Richardson lived near the store and tried to break up the rock-pelting crowd by firing his gun through the window of his home. His gunfire struck and killed an 11-year-old boy named Christopher Seider and further enraged the patriots.

Several days later, a fight broke out between local workers and British soldiers. It ended without serious bloodshed but helped set the stage for the bloody incident yet to come.

A community of French immigrants lived in Acadia, the region off the eastern coast of Canada, until they were expelled by Britis
Sauron [17]

Answer:

Members of the community of French immigrants that lived in Acadia, the region off the eastern coast of Canada, until they were expelled by British troops and forced to migrate, mainly to southern Louisiana, were known as Cajuns.

Explanation:

Cajuns are a sub-ethnic group, peculiar in culture and origin, represented mainly in the southern part of Louisiana.

They are the largest ethnic minority in Louisiana, accounting for about 4% of the state’s population, whose linguistic rights are partially officially recognized in the state. Most cajuns speak English, but retain a commitment to their culture, lifestyle and especially national cuisine. They also speak Cajun dialect of French.

The deportation of the Acadians from Canada, after the French and Indian War, led to the emergence of the Acadian diaspora in many regions of the world. In total, from 1755 to 1763, by order of the British governor Charles Lawrence, over 10,000 residents of the former French territories (Acadia and Nova Scotia) were deported. More than half of them died in the holds of ships transporting them to prisons of the British colonies in the territory of the present USA and even to the Falkland Islands. Some of them (over 3,000) moved to Louisiana, where they, Catholics, were welcomed by the Spanish administration and the large French population of New Orleans. Later, a special ethnographic group formed in rural Louisiana.
