Let’s Just Send Our Criminals off to England!
Nobody Remembers
Here’s a bit of history that is fun to report: Britain didn’t just send criminals to Australia, they sent them to AMERICA first.
Ha!
From GIZMODO:
The joke about Australia is that it was founded by a bunch of criminals. And from 1788 until 1868, Britain did send roughly 164,000 convicts to the land down under. America’s dirty little secret? The same exact thing was happening here. In fact, experts estimate that over 52,000 British prisoners were shipped off to colonial America.
*******
Britain had been shipping convicts to America for decades before they started sending them to Australia. In fact, it was precisely because of America’s fight for independence that the Brits had to start sending their criminals to Australia. But from 1718 until 1775, convict transportation to the American colonies flourished. Some estimates claim that almost 10 per cent of migrants to America during this time were British convicts.
Nobody can only think that it’s one of the reasons most Americans LOVE the Australians. We do! We adore them.
What the article doesn’t say is what KIND of criminals were sent? Religious criminals? Poor folks stealing food?
So, England was smart. Why put up with your murderers, thieves, and poor?—– Ship them off! Feeding all those crooks takes too much money—-money best spent on ships, castles, and jewels.
Cuba and Mexico is STILL sending it’s criminals here…except back then, the criminals had to work when they got here…now, they get free food, free college, and they get hired over the local citizen.
Yes, England spread the citizens they didn’t want…all over the world.
Mighty nice of them, I’d say. They didn’t expect those criminals to outgrow them, did they?
Maybe we should start sending our criminals back, to show our thanks—
Think they’d take Obama?
(Thanks to amfortas for pointing this very fun fact of history out.)
About
I am a nobody. If the different classes of America were color-coded, I would be in the yucky brown, one rung up from the bottom. I grew up in Naples, Florida and live near the Mississippi River now with my husband and two dogs. I am part of the slowly disappearing middle-class. I was a musician most of my life: drummer/singer/keyboards—but I retired before the plastic surgery flu hit. I have no degrees, which could be a good thing…depending on how you view our educational system. I do have three patents…but that really doesn’t make me a somebody. The one thing that is constant in my life is my OPINIONS, which i have more than perhaps even Carl Sagan could have imagined…mostly political. (yes…my ancestors were crabby buggers)
Hopefully other nobody’s will put their opinions on my site. But, if you happen to be a somebody, you’re more than welcomed to help out.
It’s my Nobody Opinion that Nobody’s Perfect, and Nobody Cares, that Nobody Knows why Nobody Wins, and when that happens, Nobody Wonders, why Nobody Flashes, why Nobody’s Fooled, but then Nobody remembers that Nobody ALWAYS Reports the truth.
