LeBlanc conveys the many atrocities suffered by Acadians and Indians alike, at the hands of the English, around the time of the Acadian removal. An excerpt from the book, "The Acadian Miracle: an act of unbelievable cruelty to the Acadians· and Indians by the English," published in the Micmac News in 1976, describes only a few of these instances; for example: Lawrence was advised after the exile, that quite a large number of Acadians were at La Have so he sent a ship there All the population that remained was transported to Halifax, put in dungeons and, four months later shipped to England. New cruelties must have been committed there, since we find the proof in a letter from General Amherst to Lawrence, indicating his disapproval of such conduct. He pointed out that a certain Captain Hazen was the principal guilty person, and added: "I shall always disapprove of killing innocent women and children."
