Poitou (French pronunciation: [pwatu]) was a province of west-central France whose capital city was Poitiers.
The region of Poitou was called Thifalia (or Theiphalia) in the sixth century.
There is a marshland called the Poitevin Marsh (French Marais Poitevin) on the Gulf of Poitou, on the west coast of France, just north of La Rochelle and west of Niort.
By the Treaty of Paris of 1259, King Henry III of England recognized his loss of continental Plantaganet territory to France (including Normandy, Maine, Anjou, and Poitou).
During the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries Poitou was a hotbed of Huguenot (French Calvinist) activity among the nobility and bourgeoisie and was severely impacted by the French Wars of Religion (1562–1598).
Many of the Acadians who settled in what is now Nova Scotia beginning in 1604 and later to New Brunswick, came from the region of Poitou. After the Acadians were deported by the British beginning in 1755, some of them eventually took refuge in Québec. A large portion of these refugees also migrated to Louisiana in 1785 and eventually became known as Cajuns.

Do I believe in the resurrection of Christ?
And did His death bring forth new life?
And did He raise up and bring back Lazurus from the
grave?
Is there supposed to be a Second Coming?
Am I wrong because I'm wondering
Why the fallen Babylon is up and alive today?
And do I really believe in the Mark of the Beast
Cause he's still dwelling up in my streets
Strapped and ready to fight this war
And he's got more guns than you and me
And most people don't wanna believe
That they still prejudice, simply because we poor
Do I believe that Mother Teresa was an angel on this
earth
And thou shall love thy neighbor, even if he acts like
you?
Do believe in Heaven and Hell, shoot, hell yeah I do
Cause we alive today, and my crew is living proof
If it wasn't for you!
None of this would ever mean a thing
If it wasn't for you!
Tell me why else would I believe
What I believe
Do I believe that the Rider of the White Horse
Is coming back for the righteous?
And the Morning Star keeps getting brighter every day?
Is there such a thing as good and evil
Still division amongst the people?
And we're not all created equally, just because you say
Do I believe in the Trinity?
And will I live eternally?
Even though I'm not quite the saint that you claim to
Did Dr. Martin Luther have a dream?
Was Haile Sillasi a king?
And is it okay to sometimes feel a little bit confused?
Will Armagedon ever come?
I'm not perfect, just forgiven
And I might just push back the next time you shove
Do I believe in One God, one aim and destiny?
Just don't forget your First Love
That's what my mom used to tell me
If it wasn't for you!
None of this would ever mean a thing
If it wasn't for you!
Tell me why else would I believe
(What I believe)
If it wasn't for you!
Then none of this is for nothing
It's all for nothing!
It's all for nothing!
It's all for nothing!
If it wasn't for you!
None of this would ever mean a thing
If it wasn't for you!
Tell me why else would I believe
