Convicts of European immigrants were forced to settle in colonial America
Option (A)
EXPLANATION:
- England transported (known as penal transportation) its convicts, 'political prisoners', and 'prisoners of war' from Ireland and Scotland, to its foreign colonies in the US from the 1610s till early in the Revolution of America in the year 1776, when transport to America was momentarily put off by the 'Criminal Law Act 1776'.
- Under the English decree, transportation was a substitute sentence enforced for a crime. Penal transportation was the re-location of convicts who were sentenced or other persons considered as undesirable, to a remote place, usually a colony for a stated term; then, set up penal colonies had become their destination.
- The prisoners would be released once they had served their sentences; however, they usually did not have the resources to go back to their home nation
