2019-07-09 at 2:19 AM UTClol, the education system here puts emphasis on the law being extremely strict in England so most of the convicts were 'probably' just stealing food to survive or something
the fact that they almost wiped out the natives suggests otherwise, but I guess that's just what settlers doThe following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

wrongBritish Empire
The British used colonial North America as a penal colony through a system of indentured servitude. Merchants would transport the convicts and auction them off (for example) to plantation owners upon arrival in the colonies. It is estimated that some 50,000 British convicts were sent to colonial America and the majority landed in the Chesapeake Colonies of Maryland and Virginia. Transported convicts represented perhaps one-quarter of all British emigrants during the 18th century.[1] The colony of Georgia, for example, was first founded by James Edward Oglethorpe who originally intended to use prisoners taken largely from debtors' prison, creating a "Debtor's Colony," where the prisoners could learn trades and work off their debts. Even though this largely failed, the idea that the state began as a penal colony has persisted, both in popular history and local lore.[2] The British and earlier English would often ship rebellious Irish and Welsh[citation needed] to the Americas, or Scottish prisoners of war during the ensuing Wars of the Three Kingdoms and Third English Civil War[3] but these were sent mostly to Maryland and Virginia, not Georgia.[4]
When that avenue closed in the 1780s after the American Revolution, Britain began using parts of what is now known as Australia as penal settlements. Australian penal colonies included Norfolk Island, Van Diemen's Land (Tasmania), Queensland and New South Wales. Advocates of Irish Home Rule or of Trade Unionism (the Tolpuddle Martyrs) sometimes received sentences of deportation to these Australian colonies.[citation needed]. Without the allocation of the available convict labour to farmers, to pastoral squatters, and to government projects such as roadbuilding, colonisation of Australia may not have been possible,[citation needed] especially considering the considerable drain on non-convict labor caused by several goldrushes that took place in the second half of the 19th century after the flow of convicts had dwindled and (in 1868) ceased.

It's weird how that is. Thankfully I don't really care if socks match or not, nobody can see them under my boots anyway
What DOES suck though, is ending up with an odd number of total socks
