What on Earth happened to the Acadians, better known in most of the United States as the Cajuns? Hundreds of years ago, there was a distinct territory and culture that developed in North America that was a product of French imperialism, located in what is now modern day Canada. However, after conflicts with the British, their descendants had one of the most dramatic and interesting tales of trials and tribulations seen in any community in the US or Canada.

In today's video we're going to be discussing the history of the Acadians and what happened to their modern day descendants, such as the Cajuns, and how and why they ended up where they did, with many of these Acadian refugees ending up all across the globe. Thanks for watching!
