Wicken suggests that to recast the conflict between the Acadians and the British. There is a need to revise the two treaties signed to consider every aspect of the conflict. For instance, before signing the first treaty, the British and the Acadians had not established a formal relationship; rather, the negotiations were done informally between individual communities and the British government at the Annapolis royal, but there were no results.
In addition, the British could put effort into getting the Mi’kmaq and Wulstukwiuk to sign the treaties. The British realized that they could only accomplish the region’s occupation by making sure there was peace among the indigenous inhabitants.
