- During the deportation, as many as 10,000 Acadians were forced into ships and sent to the thirteen colonies, which are now in the United States, or they were sent to Europe. Almost one-third of the people who were forced onto the ships died before they reached their destination. Families were separated and some of the were never able to find each other again. At least one ship sank.
