Bound for America: The Transportation of British Convicts to the Colonies, 1718-1775 (Clarendon Paperbacks) - Softcover
Inhaltsangabe
During the eighteenth century, transportation to the colonies became Britain's foremost criminal punishment. From 1718 to 1775, British courts banished fifty thousand convicts. They formed the largest body of emigrants after African slaves ever compelled to go to America. The first comprehensive account of the transportation in the years preceding the settling of Australia, Bound for America combines analysis with a vivid narrative to provide new insights into the origins of crime and the treatment of offenders on both sides of the Atlantic.

Paperback. From 1718 to 1775, British courts banished 50,000 convicts to America--the largest body of immigrants, aside from African slaves, ever sent across the Atlantic--in hopes of restoring social peace at home without posing the threat to traditional freedoms raised by the death penalty or a harshcorrective system. Drawing upon archives in Britain and the United States, Bound for America examines the critical role this punishment played in Britain's criminal justice system. It also assesses the nature of the convict trade, the social origins of the transported felons, and the impact such alarge criminal influx had on colonial society. Very good condition. Cover has minor scuffing and wear at edges. Slight tanning on outside page edges. Artikel-Nr. 14582728
