Early in the war, the English captured Spanish-held St. Augustine , Florida , in 1702 . English military aid to the colonists was largely ineffective or deflected in defense of the areas around Charleston , South Carolina , and the New York – New England frontier with the Canadian territories. French forces and allied indigenous tribes attacked New England from Canada, destroying Deerfield , Massachusetts , in 1704 . The Apalachee , the Spanish, and Catholicism were erased from Florida. Following the capture of French-held Port Royal in 1710 , Acadia became the British 1 province of Nova Scotia . By 1712 an armistice was declared. Under terms spelled out in the Treaty Of Utrecht (1713) , Britain gained Newfoundland , the Hudson Bay region, and the Caribbean island of St. Kitts . The peace lasted until the next of the French and Indian Wars, King George's War in 1744 . The British conquest of Acadia would ultimately bring severe consequences for its French inhabitants. In 1755 , during the French And Indian War , many would be expelled from the colony. Some would eventually make their way to Louisiana . The Iroquois League remained neutral in this war. NOTES 1 In 1707 , England and Scotland were unified as the Kingdom Of Great Britain , sharing a single Parliament at Westminster under the Act Of Union 1707 . After this, Scottish troops joined their English counterparts in the war. SEE ALSO
