On this day in 1713 — exactly 313 years ago — French residents of Acadia were given one year to declare allegiance to Britain or leave Nova Scotia.
It was the first formal ultimatum after the Treaty of Utrecht, which ceded Acadia to the British. Most Acadians chose to stay, but refused the unconditional oath — a quiet defiance that simmered for decades before erupting into the Great Upheaval of 1755.
The seeds of the Expulsion were planted on this day.
