[Loch-soilleir] QoM and WoM

[Paris Chelette]

The Acadians were scattered throughout the eastern seaboard, where some 
became slaves in British colonies[citation needed], the Caribbean, and 
Europe. Families were split and put on different ships with different 
destinations. Many ended up in what was then French-colonized Louisiana, 
reaching as far north as Dakota. France had ceded the colony to Spain in 
1762, prior to their defeat by Britain, and two years before the first 
Acadians began settling in Louisiana.

Will this do ?
