It was called Transportation, and if the prisons in the UK get any fuller, we may start transportation again, lol! In those days, a man could be transported simply for stealing a loaf of bread to feed his starving family. So not all transportees were hardened criminals - but poverty was so rife, that many people had little choice but to steal.

It replaced right into a sparkling got here across colony and that they mandatory human beings there to make up a inhabitants, because of the fact on the time no one had to flow there voluntarily, so particular they despatched criminals, yet a lot of those human beings have been toddlers who had perchance stolen a loaf of bread for survival, they weren't murderers a lot of them. Australia is made out of many cultures, so I doubt maximum all human beings is descendants of criminals.

Yeah, I think so, they took all the criminals from the UK and transported them to Australia, but now looking at it, it looks like they got the last laugh, cause I would say that the australians have left us with the bum deal!!!
