They sent all of the criminals that they did not hang to this country as outcasts. Kinda fits, no? No...not even close...the early British settlers were fleeing religious persecution, but maybe it's been a long time since you took a history class or maybe this British citizen hasn't taken a geography class in quite a while and had the US mixed up with Australia.
