Your Cajun ancesters were from Acadia, now known as Nova Scotia, and the Scottish had a hard-on for the area which was not the best living condition anyway.

So the British kept coming around harassing French settlements until the Acadians split up, some going back to France, and a lot going to Louisiana which was French before they sold in about 1801.

So embrace the French, be patriotic, and go buy some French ****** like Benjamin Franklin did.
Ok, well from my stand point where Nova Scotia is located its pretty much Canada :P Kinda like all the US terrorties lol... (even if this view is wrong) Louisiana was indeed French when it was sold to the US, but before it was french it was spanish. There were even several german colonies there if my memory serves. So you add French, spanish, germans, and some "Africans" for spice and ya got dirty cajun...

Saying the Acadians split up is a bit of an understatement however. We were departed wholesale by the brits. And when we were kicked out, it wasn't like we all came here. Ships landed all over the east coast and some of them made it Louisiana.

I think I got my enemies screwed up because I remember my grandfather telling me of some of the history he lived through, mainly the attempted stamping out of French in Louisiana when he was growing up. But of course that wouldnt have been by the hands of the french themselves lol...

So here's what I've come up for a video for this years meet:

And Andrew Jackson pulled a similiar stunt before he was president by rounding up all the native americans around Alabama, Tennessee, etc. in the "trail of tears", and walking them all the way to Oklahoma! The ones that lived that was.

Living then was not pretty unless you were the priviliged few who were good with exploits or genocide!

However, your video made me feel like I was there for a minute, so some things work out well!
