https://padlet.com/daria_matulic/ookh535f1xz6 Do you think that the British were justified in asking for an oath of allegiance from the Acadians? Do you think the Arcadians were justified in refusing? Why? Remember to write your name as the title of the post. en-us 2018-04-03 18:51:05 UTC 2019-10-21 12:19:49 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/daria_matulic/ookh535f1xz6/wish/261719484 The British were justified because British tried to force the Acadians to take an oath of allegiance to Great Britain so that they could fight with Britain and so that they could take some of their resources during the war. On the other hand the Acadians were justified in refusing the treaty because it would require them to fight for the British crown during wartime. They feared that signing the treaty would cause  attacks on them by the French military and its aboriginal allies.]]> 2018-05-17 19:04:44 UTC https://padlet.com/daria_matulic/ookh535f1xz6/wish/261719484 https://padlet.com/daria_matulic/ookh535f1xz6/wish/261719817 Yes I think the British were justified in asking for an oath of allegiance. I think so because the Acadians were trying very hard to fight agaist the British.]]> 2018-05-17 19:05:42 UTC https://padlet.com/daria_matulic/ookh535f1xz6/wish/261719817 https://padlet.com/daria_matulic/ookh535f1xz6/wish/261739910 I don’t think that the British were justified in asking for the oath of allegiance from the Acadians because what the British really wanted was to know that the Acadians would not revolt against them. Yes I do think that the Acadians were justified on refusing the British because the Acadians lived in the area for several years and wanted to continue living peacefully. But if they didn’t refuse the oath then the British would have harassed them for petty reasons and take over the land.]]> 2018-05-17 20:26:06 UTC https://padlet.com/daria_matulic/ookh535f1xz6/wish/261739910 https://padlet.com/daria_matulic/ookh535f1xz6/wish/261742973 I do not think that the British were justified to ask the Acadians for an oath of allegiance. I think that the Acadians were justified to refusing this offer. This is because how can you trust newcomers to your land? What of they stab you in the back? Also, the British wanted to take over New France so asking Acadia to help him was a pathetic sinister move]]> 2018-05-17 20:40:45 UTC https://padlet.com/daria_matulic/ookh535f1xz6/wish/261742973 https://padlet.com/daria_matulic/ookh535f1xz6/wish/261759194 I think that the British were justified in asking the Acadians to take an oath of allegiance because it is not wrong to make necessary precautions. The British only wanted the Acadians to sign the oath because the British did not want the Acadians to stab them in the back,(Figuratively and literally). The Acadians were also justified in refusing to take the oath because they were loyal to their country and they did not want to help the British to kill the French and take over their land. The land that was already theirs if the British had not come to New France and declared war against them.]]> 2018-05-17 22:25:36 UTC https://padlet.com/daria_matulic/ookh535f1xz6/wish/261759194 https://padlet.com/daria_matulic/ookh535f1xz6/wish/261762471 I think that the British were justified in asking the Acadians to take the oath for the allegiance because it was smart move at the time so the British did not get attacked and betrayed by the Acadians. This is good oath for a allegiance so when there is a war they will be good and not be betrayed and it worked the British won the seven year war and beet France. ]]> 2018-05-17 22:56:21 UTC https://padlet.com/daria_matulic/ookh535f1xz6/wish/261762471 https://padlet.com/daria_matulic/ookh535f1xz6/wish/261762680 I think the British was justified because on the other hand the Arcadeins where trying to fight at the same time and trying to beat the British. The British was the hardest to beat in a fight because they had the best ideas and on the other hand Acadians did not have a really good plan to beat the British. So at the end the British always win

Despite this I still think that the Acadians were justified in not taking the oath because I don't think that the Acadians would appreciate the British taking over their land so, I think that the Acadians would obviously, if the chance came, retaliate against the British.]]> 2018-05-17 23:03:07 UTC https://padlet.com/daria_matulic/ookh535f1xz6/wish/261763136 https://padlet.com/daria_matulic/ookh535f1xz6/wish/261763408 I personally believe that the British were justified in asking for an oath of allegiance from the Acadians. This is because in the year 1713, Acadia had become a British colony. The British had full control over Acadia and they had the right to do anything that they wanted with their new colony. Therefore, asking the Acadians to take an oath of allegiance should not have been an issue. They simply wanted to ensure that the Acadians would be loyal to their king although, I am sure that this could have been handled in a more mature way. If this was handled properly there would be more of a possibility for the Acadians to continue living peacefully while under the oath. I do not think that the Acadians were justified in refusing the oath because they were a colony that belonged to the British. If I were in the position of the Acadians I would have taken the oath because I would be aware that the British could have done anything to me. This would have been a wise decision because as were told, about 10 000 Acadians were expelled from the region due to their lack of obedience when it came to the oath. ]]> 2018-05-17 23:05:40 UTC https://padlet.com/daria_matulic/ookh535f1xz6/wish/261763408 https://padlet.com/daria_matulic/ookh535f1xz6/wish/261765261 I do believe that the british were justified in making a oath in allegiance because they did not want to get tricked and have their land over taken. The Acadians were justified in not signing it because they are french and would probably refuse and since it is a oath they have a choice of refusing.]]> 2018-05-17 23:23:09 UTC https://padlet.com/daria_matulic/ookh535f1xz6/wish/261765261 https://padlet.com/daria_matulic/ookh535f1xz6/wish/261777617 The question of human rights and the right to a homeland seem to arise when talking about the Acadian Expulsion. Some people may say that it is unfair to include the issue of rights in this argument. These are concepts that the British would have not been aware of at this time as the Acadian Expulsion happened before these concepts were taken into place. However, others argue that using thousands of people, destroying their families and lives, and forcing them to live as refugees have always been obviously wrong. The wrongness of these actions are basic and enduring; it doesn’t matter what century the Acadian Expulsion happened in. Moving an abundance of people was an extreme solution and the fact that the British held off on it for so long reveals both a hesitation and an awareness of how risky their actions were. The British knew it was wrong and therefore their actions have never been justifiable.]]> 2018-05-18 01:02:52 UTC https://padlet.com/daria_matulic/ookh535f1xz6/wish/261777617 https://padlet.com/daria_matulic/ookh535f1xz6/wish/261777747 Personally I firmly believe that the British were justified in asking for an oath of allegiance to the Acadians. In 1713, the British had took over the Acadians land, meaning this was the new British colony. Because they had full control of this land the British technically had the right to do anything they wished, anything the British had in mind should not have been such a big controversy because they are the rightful rulers of this region. This oath was to ensure that the Acadians were loyal to their King. This just sound bizarre, with the amount of Acadians being kicked off of British grounds because of not following the oath. Although, there were various ways to prevent many  issues from occurring this one could of been taking in a more mature and serious matter because I believe having thousands leave due to their behavior towards certain people is terrible and something that could be changed. ]]> 2018-05-18 01:03:50 UTC https://padlet.com/daria_matulic/ookh535f1xz6/wish/261777747 https://padlet.com/daria_matulic/ookh535f1xz6/wish/261783216 I think the British were justified in asking for a allegiance because if a war was to break then the Acadians would be in a good position to help over take the British. I also think that the Acadians were justified to not take the allegiance because if it meant throwing away your religion then, ok sure it would be okay.]]> 2018-05-18 01:38:33 UTC https://padlet.com/daria_matulic/ookh535f1xz6/wish/261783216 https://padlet.com/daria_matulic/ookh535f1xz6/wish/261790136 I honestly do not believe that the British were justified in asking for an oath of allegiance.  This is  because that would have meant that the Acadians would have had to fight with the British in their battles, which would constantly put them in danger and all of the people would leave to another place that was safer, and there's no point of gaining power over something if no one's there to be commanded.  I believe that the acadians were justified in refusing the oath because they were still loyal to the French, and people do  not just change their devotion towards something, especially as important as the side in a war, easily and quickly.  Also,  the fact that the British transferred thousands of Acadians to Louisiana because they did not want to change their beliefs was just more proof that what they did was no was excusable or justifiable. Anyways, the British ended up winning over New France anyways, so whatever happened allowed Canada to become what it is today. ]]> 2018-05-18 02:24:12 UTC https://padlet.com/daria_matulic/ookh535f1xz6/wish/261790136 https://padlet.com/daria_matulic/ookh535f1xz6/wish/261791772 Personally I think the British were justified for asking for a oath of allegiance. This is because they had taken over Acadia and it was under their control and was a British conoly. The oath would ensure that the Acadians would not revolt against the British. Acadia was not justified in resisting the oath because it was British land and the British could do whatever they want with the Acadians and thier land. This is because they could of gotten much worse then deported or moved, they could of been all murderd. If I was an Acadian I would of accepted the oath because the British could do whatever they wanted with me if I accepted it or not. After staying under the French crown they lost the seven years war and the British took over and now we speak English in the Canada we know today ]]> 2018-05-18 02:35:49 UTC https://padlet.com/daria_matulic/ookh535f1xz6/wish/261791772 https://padlet.com/daria_matulic/ookh535f1xz6/wish/261798243 I do think the British were justified in asking for an oath of allegiance from the Acadians, because the British needed to make sure their own inhabitants would not fight for the French instead of fighting for the British incase a war broke out. It is crucial for any country to make sure they know where the loyalties of their inhabitants or citizens lie, especially if it is a country such as England, striving to acquire more land. Also, since the British gained control of Acadia making it a British colony technically speaking they had the right to ask for an oath of allegiance form the Acadians. I do not think shipping the Acadians to a remote destination was a legitimate solution for the Acadians refusal, if anything the British should of just made sure the Acadians would not fight in any  war where both the British and the French would be on opposing sides, so that way the Acadians would not become a liability towards the the British and at the same time they would not become an asset for the French.  I personally believe the Acadians were justified in refusing to sign the oath of allegiance because even though the French gave up Acadia to keep Guadeloupe and Martinique the Acadians still had this feeling of obligation towards the French, so signing this oath would be a way of betraying any of the ties the Acadians had for the French. On the other hand, for practicalities sake disobeying the British was not a prudent choice to make because since Acadia was now a British colony, the British could have done anything they wanted to do to the Acadians. Unfortunately the cost for the Acadians disobedience was being expelled from their home country. To sum this up I do believe the Acadians were right in refusing the oath, but at the same time I think making that decision was not wise because it only brought more adversities their way.]]> 2018-05-18 03:21:46 UTC https://padlet.com/daria_matulic/ookh535f1xz6/wish/261798243 https://padlet.com/daria_matulic/ookh535f1xz6/wish/261801185 I do believe that the British were justified in asking for an oath of allegiance from the Acadians because they needed to make sure that Acadia would not revolt against them. Also,  the British had full control over Acadia starting in 1713 so they had the right to do this without any problems. I do think the Arcadians were justified in refusing because the they had lived in the area for several generations and wanted to continue living peacefully so they didn’t want to be ruled by the British soldiers whom had harassed them for petty reasons. ]]> 2018-05-18 03:46:51 UTC https://padlet.com/daria_matulic/ookh535f1xz6/wish/261801185 https://padlet.com/daria_matulic/ookh535f1xz6/wish/261882248 I do belove that the British were justified in asking for the oaths allegiance from the Acadians because they needed to make sure would not stab them in the back. The British had some control over Acadia and the French had control of a smaller part of Acadia. Acadia was made in 1713 and they would have to fight back because at that time they did not have a voice and changes were just made with out giving them a change to explain themselves. They always wanted to live a happy life with no problems.

I don't think that the Acadians were justified for refusing though because they are the rightful owner of the land now, and they can do whatever they want to do with it.
