The people on the First Fleet had in common the fact that they were leaving England to settle in an "uncivilised" land for an undetermined number of years.
The convicts who made up most of the First Fleet were all convicted of a variety of crimes, mostly petty theft, and were sent away from their home country of England to a land far away, of which most of them had never even heard.
