Another curio - can't resist, sorry!:

The word Cajun (as in Louisiana) comes from Accadian which was a mis-pronounciation of Canadian! They were one part of the French majority in Colonial Canada. Drive around Detroit Michigan and get a load of all the street names that are French Family names.... case in point "le général de Cadillac" (pronounced Kadi-yak)!

The Cajun did not willingly move south: they were violently expulsed by the Red-Coats when France traded claims to Canada for claims to Martinique after France had won the war for Québec!

I've been saying for 25 years that the worst enemy of modern-day French Canada is not the English but the French-Canadians ourselves... long story.

Again, God is Great, beer is good and people are crazy!
