Défaite des Britanniques en Floride en 1781 : la revanche des Acadiens
Des centaines d’Acadiens provenant de la première et deuxième génération de réfugiés installés en Louisiane ont pris part à la Révolution américaine, quoiqu’indirectement. Ils ont combattu pour le compte de l’Espagne, qui possédait alors cette colonie, lors d’une expédition réussie contre les Britanniques en Floride occidentale.
En 1762, la France avait cédé à l’Espagne la plus grande partie de la Louisiane, soit les territoires situés à l’ouest du fleuve Mississippi. Un an plus tard, lors du traité de Paris, le reste, soit la partie située au sud-est du Mississippi, était remis à la Grande-Bretagne, alors que l’Espagne cédait à celle-ci la Floride.
Jun. 6—Each week, The Spokesman-Review is examining one question from the exam taken by immigrants trying to become United States citizens.

for this week s rise up, with memorial day tomorrow falling on the 100th anniversary of the tulsa race massacre, i want to talk about the thousands of black soldiers who have fought for this country abroad only to come home and face discrimination and death right here in america. the history of black sacrifice for american ideals is older than our nation itself. the first casualty of the american revolution was a free black patriot named crispis adams, gunned down in 1970. it would be decades before our government would find that slavery was untenable and

trying protect freedom of speech for everyone. they re asking questions about it tonight. i care about freedom of speech, too. i don t think content discrimination in the university is good. the 1619 project was a shoddy research endeavor from day one. they made historically unsubstantiated claims including the founding fathers ultimately led the american revolution against great britain because they wanted to preserve the institution of slavery. there was not a shred of historical evidence in support of that. it was completely false on any other historical account. when pressed about it, new york times went behind the scenes and didn t follow normal editorial standards where you actually own up to a mistake when you make a mistake but they tried to hide it behind the scenes. i don t know whether or not that was the reason where she was denied tenure. i think that would be a perfectly good reason for failing to meet academic standards for basic history and basic research.
