"The Cajun story starts in #NovaScotia, where this French-speaking people led a peaceful life, until they didn't. In the middle of the 1700s, the conquering British kicked out the #Acadians — shortened to #Cajuns. Expelled, they found an improbable home amid the backwaters of #French #Louisiana."

I had notes from about five different papers saying that the #Acadians in #NovaScotia had originally come from #Poitou and nearby areas in #France, only one of which cited Massignon (1962), but after following all the #citation paths, they all led back to Massignon, who does appear to be the only person who has attempted to answer this question from #primarydata.

Interesting how widely taken for granted simple facts can be.
