Question

=between 1787 and 1875 england transported over 135,000 felons to __________ for overseas work.

Answer 1

The correct answer is Australia.  Starting in 1787, England began shipping convicts to Australia as laborers.  The practice began to end around 1875 because Australia had become a developed and desirable place for people to move to and live, hence settlers were more willing to move to the colony.
