And remember that America was also used as one of the penal colonies...

Quite right Sir. Georgia being the main penal colony and named after George II. Still, nothing happened in the 17th Century.  :(
There were also a lot of pregnant girls that were sent to the US instead of hung when convicted of theft, etc.  Many of them got pregnant in prison . . .
