A map of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia in 1775, when it was known as Acadia. Acadia had been ceded by France to the British under the Treaty of Utrecht (1713). At the outbreak of the French and Indian War, the British began a campaign of expelling the former French settlers, resulting in the forced deportation of the Acadians. This map shows the area, French forts, and settlements during the British campaign of Colonel Monckton in 1775, including Bay Verte (Green Bay), the eastern shore of Chignecto at the head of the Bay of Fundy, Fort Lawrence, the French block-house and Fort Beau Sejour (then changed to Cumberland by the British), Fort Gaspereau, and Fort Monckton.
