there's a narrow channel between it and the rest of nova scotia or acadia. so the french did retain thchb island and also this island off the coast of acadia. besides that, this region was also part of french canada. the point is this. 1713, going back to an earlier french/british war, after all, this was an era of french/british conflict and the seven years war that we talk about today is the culmination of this really in the colonial period. envelope 1713, when the british gained governance of nova scioscia or acadia, the colonist tlds were french. so what do the british say to the french then? they basically wanted them to remove. they wanted the french colonists out if they could effect that. and then teld bring in -- they would bring in -- remove the french catholics if they could to better control the territory which after all was close to the gulf which borders the gulf of st. lawrence and the entry to the st. lawrence river. the point is though, the british military in acadia was weak. they only had a few hundred men. and even though they would have
