this hard-to-find three volume set is in like new conditions.

In 1710, England finally won the war to claim Acadia as part of England, at which time it was renamed Nova Scotia. Eventually, the French settlers either left Nova Scotia on their own or were forced to leave.

Acadian refugees, German farmers, black slaves and free blacks, along with Italians, Irish, and the "Kaintucks" who helped Andrew Jackson win the Battle of New Orleans added to the state's distinctiveness. Made rich by sugar cane, cotton, and Mississippi River commerce before the Civil War, Louisiana faced poverty afterward. Battles between Bourbon Democrats and Reconstructio... View More...
