After being in âAcadieâ for 150 years, the Acadians were faced with a cruel and major upheaval. On July 28, 1755, Charles Lawrence, the British governor of âAcadieâ ordered what many call the âThe Great Upheavalâ Other terms used are Great Expulsion, The Deportation, the Acadian Expulsion, or to the deportees, Le Grand DÃ©rangement. The British began the forced removal of the Acadians from their homeland in 1755. To prevent their return, houses and farms were burned. Acadians were taken into custody by British officers and then herded onto British ships and were exiled. Some Acadians escaped led by Joseph Beausoleil Broussard.
