From Lives of Quiet Desperation by Gary M.In 1784, Spanish Governor Don Bernardo
de Galvez ordered a census of the colony.New Orleans had grown to
a city of about 5,000.Canada and the coastal region of northern Maine.It was established as
a proprietary colony by Pierre Duguay, Sieur de Monts.Crops were sown, land had been parceled
out among the settlers, and the fur trade had been reestablished.The lack of a firm political
and financial commitment to colonization would characterize the French
colonial experience in the New World.Laye
in 1632, and through the Company of New France, the French began to concentrate
on securing Acadia as a stronghold.In July, 1632 three hundred French settlers landed
and after being organized into military units reoccupied Port Royal.New England and Canada (Quebec).Like other French colonial possessions,
Acadia suffered greatly from internal dissension and outright warfare among
economic rivals.Numerous attempts by the British
to make Acadians loyal subjects were met with obstinacy and derision, not
so much because of the loyalty of the Acadians to the French Crown, Quebec,
or their Catholic faith, but more so because of generations of absolute
and unrelenting isolation.The role of geographic isolation in creating, molding, and nurturing
early Acadian society cannot be overemphasized.The fact that Acadians occupied
the best lands in Nova Scotia and were thus preventing English colonists
from moving there exacerbated tensions with British authorities.God, family, and land were important.Acadians produced
nothing resembling political parties and, unlike most ethnic groups, no
single prominent leader ever emerged amongst the ranks of the people.In November, 1975,
during a lecture on Acadian life, Glenn Conrad claimed that during a 42
year period there was not a single recorded crime.Children married young
and were provided for by neighbors.As a people, Acadians
were very quick to challenge English, French, and Catholic political and
moral rule.Acadians is a consistent theme of Acadian
colonial history.Consequently, the most
harmonious ecclesiastical and civil parishes were those with docile leadership.Acadians, Catholic missionaries were shadowy figures who provided the settlers
minimal contact with the church hierarchy.Forced to fend for themselves,
even to the point of conducting paraliturgical services, the immigrants
ultimately came to divorce religion from the area's traditionally dominant
religious institution.Priests consequently became little more than petty
religious administrators, stripped of their cloak of religious invincibility
and vulnerable to personal criticism...The alternative for the Acadians was
to leave the colony.And so began the Grand Derangement, or the diaspora
of the Acadians from their home of five generations.The displaced Acadians were packed on ships and distributed from Massachusetts
to Georgia.Virginia, the home of Thomas Jefferson, George Washington,
George Mason, and Patrick Henry, all architects of American Civil Liberties,
refused to accept the Acadian refugees because of a prevalent religious
prejudice against Catholics.The result of the Seven Years War, the Treaty of Paris of 1763, gave
the Acadians 18 months to leave the English Colonies.The French denied relocation to Louisiana.He allowed no further settlements
in Attakapas.Finally, in 1785, those Acadians who had been sent to England
during the war and were relocated in Poitou in France afterwards arrived
and were settled along Bayou LaFourche.Once ejected from Nova Scotia, the Acadians were an unwanted people.Unfortunately,
this type of individual effort was rare and had little or no positive effect.De la Vergne futilely proposed the settlement of
120 Acadian families on his barren, war ravaged estates in the province
of Lorraine in France.Again, the Acadians stubbornly clung to their insular
heritage, and bitterly resisted all efforts by others to create a serfdom.Indeed, not the least of the problems faced by the displaced Acadians were
the attempts of other Frenchmen, i.Louisiana Creoles, still of a
monarchial mentality, to create a peasant class of the Acadians.Seemingly
endless precipitation is outdone only by the dangers of floods and the
hurricane season.Choosing homesteads were often difficult exercises in anticipating where
flood plains began and ended.THE NEW DERANGEMENT
There are still vestiges of insularity among Acadian descendants.The attitude that government and
church were established to provide essential services without undo disruption
to routine activities and without undo financial burdens prevail.Consequently, there occurred an influx of skilled
labor to Southwest Louisiana, bringing with them other influences and traditions.Concern over the demise of the Cajun culture resulted
in the creation, by act of the Louisiana Legislature, of the Council for
the Development of French in Louisiana (CODOFIL).Cajun culture and insularity, however, face a new diaspora.The historic Acadian neglect for education has resulted
in a people who know very little of their own history, and are too often
ill prepared for jobs of the real world of work.The dependence on an oil,
natural gas, fishing, and an agricultural based economy devastated Louisiana
during the 1980s when all of those industries went bust simultaneously.There is a New Derangement taking place in Louisiana, which is one of
only four states of the United States who will have fewer Congressional
Districts as a result of the 1990 Census.Thinking that the group consisted of a few close friends, the author was
shocked to find out that at times there could be as many as 200 people
in attendance.Most Acadians refused to pledge allegiance to the King of England.The English were worried about the very high birth rate among Acadians.Acadians made room for more English
