	Historical Events - Lisbon, 1755 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		In England, contemporary observations by Borlase (1755; 1758) describe the arrival of the tsunami in Mounts Bay, Cornwall.
		There is some evidence to indicate that the 1755 Lisbon tsunami was not solely caused by a sea bed fault.
		This discovery raises the possibility that the tsunami was partly generated by an earthquake-triggered fault on the seabed and partly by submarine sediment slumping.

	Historical Depictions of the 1755 Lisbon Earthquake
		With an estimated population of 275,000, Lisbon was, in 1755, one of the largest cities in Europe.
		17 is not directly related to the 1755 event, but is an allegorical representation produced ten years later.
		This is a highly inaccurate depiction of the event but serves to illustrate how the disaster, which had happened nearly a hundred years before, still lived in the memory of the Europeans.

	History of Nova Scotia; Acadia, Bk.1, 1755: The Deportation of the Acadians; Part 6; Ch. 7, The Deportation Orders.
		Among the ambitious plans made by the English at the Council at Alexandria during April of 1755, none were to found in respect to the removal of the Acadians.
		What is very significant to the subsequent events of 1755 -- very significant, indeed -- is, not just that the English defeated the French and took their fort at Fort Beauséjour but they managed to do so within a matter of a couple of weeks.
		In any event, it is clear, that the decision to deport the Acadians was one that was taken at the local level (Governor Lawrence and his Council).

		Known as Fort Carillon during the French and Indian War, this fort was built by the French soldiers during 1755 and 1756 as an additional defense against English encroachment coming up Lake St. Sacrament [Lake George].
		The important battle of 1758 was held here when the French force of about 3,100 men, under the Marquis de Montcalm, held off an English invasion force of nearly 14,000.
		Rebuilt as a tourist attraction, the fort offers visitors a glimpse into the life of the soldiers during 1755.

	The Acadian Deportation Period 1755 - 1762
		The period between 1755 and 1762 was a very tragic time for Acadians, and the Girouard Family, for it was in those years that the British authorities decided to enforce a deportation order.
		After the fall of Beauséjour in the spring of 1755, events progressed rapidly toward deportation.
		On Friday, September 5, 1755 Colonel John Winslow ordered that all males aged 10 years and up in the area were to gather in the Grand-Pré Church for an important message from His Excellency, Charles Lawrence, the Lieutenant-Governor of Nova Scotia.

	Signs in the Heavens (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		While the signs described in the Bible appear to be global events, the three signs pointed out by Ellen White were on a seemingly smaller, localized scale.
		Given the life expectancies of the era, it is unlikely that anyone old enough to have witnessed and remembered the Lisbon earthquake in Portugal in 1755 was still alive 78 years later in 1833 to witness the Leonid meteor shower in North America.
		These unanswered questions lead to the conclusion that the events of 1755, 1780, and 1833 could not possibly be the signs of the end described in Revelation 6:12-14.

	Fort Duquesne
		The British made two efforts to regain control of the position, one by George Washington later in 1754 and another larger venture under Edward Braddock in 1755.
		Those events were among the earliest engagements in the French and Indian War, the final conflict in the struggle between France and Britain for control in North America.
		Weakly defended Fort Duquesne was the target of this venture, but an early debate raged over the route to be taken to the Forks.

		The film is a work of fiction, centering around the events of 1755 and the aftermath of the hauntings.

	Alice R. Stewart Canadian Studies Lecture Series (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		As an Acadian, his works have always encouraged progressive expression as a means of liberation from a defeatist Acadian identity, all too often defined in regards to the events of 1755.
		He accepted the position, and also remained firm in his belief that Acadians should not demand retributions from the Crown for the Deportation of 1755.
		Although consistent with the themes of openness and progress so commun in his poetry, drama, visual art and films, this stance has angered many Acadians, some of whose cricitisms in the French-language Canadian press will be examined in this presentation.
