What was asked of the acadians if they did not comply?

If the Acadians did not comply with British demands during the mid-18th century, particularly regarding their oath of allegiance, they faced severe consequences, including deportation from their lands. The British authorities sought to assert control over Acadia, and non-compliance could lead to loss of property, imprisonment, or forced removal from their communities. This ultimately resulted in the mass expulsion of many Acadians between 1755 and 1764.
