Historical Context section: Once the Acadians refused to sign an oath of allegiance to Britain, which would make them loyal to the crown, the Britsh Lieutenant Governor, Charles Lawrence, as well as the Nova Scotia Council on July 28, 1755 made the decision to deport the Acadians.

Campaign Section:

The purpose of the Ile Saint-Jean Campaign was to deport the Acadians living on Ile Saint-Jean, present-day Prince Edward Island, to allow for English and Scottish settlers a place to reside.

It was estimated that 11,500 Acadians out of the 14,100 in the region were deported. During the deportation process, a great number of Acadian deaths occurred, making this British campaign one of the deadliest in The Expulsion. {{cite web |last1=McCausland |first1=Robert |title=Deportation from Ile Saint-Jean (Prince Edward Island) : The Coming of Lord Rollo 1758 |url=https://www.glassincanada.org/our-archives/the-coming-of-lord-rollo-1758/
