Editing Acadia (section)

====King William's War====
During [[King William's War]] (1688–97), some Acadians, the [[Wabanaki Confederacy]] and the French Priests participated in defending Acadia at its border with New England, which New France defined as the [[Kennebec River]] in southern Maine.{{sfn|Williamson|1832|pages=27, 266, 293}} Toward this end, the members of the [[Wabanaki Confederacy]], on the Saint John River and in other places, joined the New France expedition against present-day [[Bristol, Maine]] (the [[siege of Pemaquid (1689)]]), [[Raid on Salmon Falls|Salmon Falls]] and present-day [[Battle of Fort Loyal|Portland, Maine]].

In response, the New Englanders retaliated by attacking [[Battle of Port Royal (1690)|Port Royal]] and present-day [[Battle at Chedabucto (Guysborough)|Guysborough]]. In 1694, the [[Wabanaki Confederacy]] participated in the [[Raid on Oyster River]] at present-day [[Durham, New Hampshire]]. Two years later, New France, led by [[Pierre Le Moyne d'Iberville]], returned and fought a [[Action of 14 July 1696|naval battle in the Bay of Fundy]] before moving on to raid [[Siege of Pemaquid (1696)|Bristol, Maine]], again.

In retaliation, the New Englanders, led by [[Benjamin Church (ranger)|Benjamin Church]], engaged in a [[Raid on Chignecto (1696)]] and the [[Siege of Fort Nashwaak (1696)|siege of the Capital of Acadia at Fort Nashwaak]].

At the end of the war England returned the territory to France in the [[Treaty of Ryswick]] and the borders of Acadia remained the same.
