History, which until then had treated the Acadians so badly, dealt them one last blow in 1842. One fine morning, the people of the Madawaska awoke to find that those of them on one side of the river were citizens of the United States of America and those on the other side were subjects of the British Crown.
L'histoire, qui avait jusque-là si mal traité les Acadiens, leur donna une dernière gifle en 1842, car au pays du Madawaska, ils se réveillèrent un bon matin, qui citoyen des États-Unis d'Amérique, qui de l'autre côté de la rivière, sujet de Sa Majesté britannique.
