The convicts who went to Australia were poor. The great majority of them were convicts only because they had been caught stealing basic necessities such as bread, a pie, an item of clothing which they needed. They came from families where the men had been forced put of employment by increasing use of machinery due to the industrial revolution, and where families members were forced to turn to crime just to survive.
Once convicts transported to North America or Australia completed their period of service, their fate varied. In North America, many were granted freedom and integrated into society, although some faced challenges due to their criminal past. In Australia, many convicts received land or employment opportunities and could eventually become free settlers, contributing to the development of the colony. In both cases, the degree of reintegration depended on the individual’s behavior and the prevailing social attitudes towards former convicts.
