Life in Acadia could not be better for Louis and Emmeline. The promise of shunshine and happiness lies ahead. They are deeply in love. A new log cabin and farmland, their Beaubassin, awaits them where they will share their love and raise a family. But three days before their wedding, a storm of terror tears their tranquil world apart. An entire nation is scattered to the winds. Emmeline's last words to Louis before they part are "Remember, my love. Beyond the storm, the sun still shines." They are put on separate ships, not knowing what part of the world the other may find themselves. Louis endures untold hardship and suffering on his quest to find Emmeline. A quest that takes him from a British prison in Halifax to the tormenting heat and toil of building a French seaport in the Caribbean. Finally his odyssey takes him to Louisiana searching for the sunshine beyond the storm. Longfellow, in his epic."Evangeline," follows Evangeline's (Emmeline LaBiche)search for Gabriel (Louis Arceneaux). This is Louis' search for his lost love, Emmeline. A story written with the tears and hopes of the ancesters of the modern day Cajuns.

The Acadian Center of the Saint Anne University in Church Point, Nova Scotia, Canada, provides information about the French colony of Acadia in Nova Scotia, Canada, which was founded in 1680. In 1760, the fall of Quebec brought about the end of the French regime in what is now Canada and Acadians were deported. They were allowed to return to Nova Scotia in 1764. Acadians were proud of the French language, their Roman Catholic faith, their families and communities, and their culture and work.

Late in 1755, an army of British regulars and Massachusetts volunteers completed one of the cruelest, most successful military campaigns in North American history, capturing and deporting seven thousand French-speaking Catholic Acadians from the province of Nova Scotia, and chasing an equal number into the wilderness of eastern Canada. Thousands of Acadians endured three decades of forced migrations and failed settlements that shuttled them to the coasts of South America, the plantations of the Caribbean, the frigid islands of the South Atlantic, the swamps of Louisiana, and the countryside of central France. The Acadian Diaspora tells their extraordinary story in full for the first time, illuminating a long-forgotten world of imperial desperation, experimental colonies, and naked brutality. Using documents culled from archives in France, Great Britain, Canada, and the United States, Christopher Hodson reconstructs the lives of Acadian exiles as they traversed oceans and continents, pushed along by empires eager to populate new frontiers with inexpensive, pliable white farmers. Hodson's compelling narrative situates the Acadian diaspora within the dramatic geopolitical changes triggered by the Seven Years' War. Faced with redrawn boundaries and staggering national debts, imperial architects across Europe used the Acadians to realize radical plans: tropical settlements without slaves, expeditions to the unknown southern continent, and, perhaps strangest of all, agricultural colonies within old regime France itself. In response, Acadians embraced their status as human commodities, using intimidation and even violence to tailor their communities to the superheated Atlantic market for cheap, mobile labor. Through vivid, intimate stories of Acadian exiles and the diverse, transnational cast of characters that surrounded them, The Acadian Diaspora presents the eighteenth-century Atlantic world from a new angle, challenging old assumptions about uprooted peoples and the very nature of early modern empire.
