About 6,000 Acadians were exiled from Port Royal, Grand Pre, and Beaubassin in 1755. Over 3,000 more were exiled after the fall of Louisbourg in 1758. When the war ended in 1763, the Exile was technically over. The first exile (1755) sent Acadians to the American Colonies and England (via Virginia). The 1758 exile sent Acadians to France. Between 1755 and 1785, Acadians migrated to several other locations The deportation and dispersion of the French Neutrals from their Acadian homes at Grandpre, on the peninsula that projects into Minas Basin, Nova Scotia, was one of the most pitiful incidents in the French and Indian war, known as the American phase of the Seven Years' War.
