Question

In these people’s first settlement, the Black interpreter Mathieu da Costa and the centenarian (-5[1])shaman Membertou were members of a social club called the “Order of Good Cheer.” These people reclaimed salt marshes using pine log sluices that blocked water at high tide and drained water at low tide in the aboiteau (“ah-bwah-TOH”) system. These people are not (10[1])indigenous, but a man nicknamed “Beautiful Sun” led militias of them in a raid (-5[1])on Dartmouth and fought Gorham’s Rangers at the Battle of (10[1])Chignecto. (10[2])These people refused to take the loyalty oath (10[1])mandated by Charles (10[1])Lawrence (10[1])after they lost a war in which (-5[1])they were led by Joseph Broussard and Father (10[1])Le Loutre. (10[6]-5[1])Many (-5[1])of (10[1])these people fled (-5[1])to live with their Mi’kmaq (10[1])(“MEEG-mah”) allies rather than be crowded aboard disease-ridden ships during the “Grand (10[1])Dérangement.” For 10 points, (10[1])name these people who were expelled from their eponymous French Canadian (10[1])colony in 1755. ■END■ (10[3]0[2])
