Quote:1759 - Plains of Abraham. In 1755 they had possession of only Nova Scotia.

At the end of April 1753 Le Loutre sailed for Acadia on the Bizarre, and the following year he was made vicar general there by Bishop Pontbriand [Dubreil*]. Upon his return he made persistent efforts to persuade the Micmacs to break the peace that had been signed with the British during his absence [see Jean-Baptiste Cope*], and he made use of them to harass the British settlers. He bought the trophies they brought back from hunts and raids; for example, he paid l,800 livres for 18 British scalps.(from random website)

With the treaty of Utrecht in 1713 England officially acquired Acadia.
Do NOT mix Atlantic Canada with Quebec.

The Plains of Abraham concern Quebec, not Acadia (that had changed hands several times).
Otherwise, you must explain how Acadians were supposed to take an oath of allegiance to the English in the 1730s after long negotiations.
The Plains of Abraham rhetoric also recurs in Quebec's Catholic clergy's discourse (=we lost there and we cannot complain of what happens now ), not in Acadia.

Abbè Leloutre was a reaction to France's eviction from Canada.
Leloutre not only targeted the English, but French appeasers and pro-English in the name of France...he was a 'guerrilla leader' in the modern sense. Had he fought WWII on the 'right' side, you'd have monuments in his name.

About Indians: they were fed of armistices and truces being violated by the English and were mostly loyal to France. The Acadian deportation had nothing to do with war but with the planned effort of a superior military force to deport an entire civilian population.
Would you extend your judgement of Acadians to other 'special groups'?
If so, why?
