Historically penal colonies have often been used for penal labour in an economically underdeveloped part of a state's (usually colonial) territories, and on a far larger scale than a prison farm. In practice such penal colonies may be little more than slave communities. The British, French, and other colonial empires heavily used North America and other parts of the world as penal colonies to varying degrees, sometimes under the guise of indentured servitude or similar arrangements.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penal_colony

The British used North America as a penal colony through a system of indentured servitude. Convicts would be transported by merchants and auctioned off to plantation owners upon arrival in the colonies. It is estimated that some 50,000 British convicts were sent to colonial America, representing perhaps one-quarter of all British emigrants during the 18th century.[1] The British also would often ship Irish and Scots to the Americas whenever there were rebellions in Ireland or Scotland, and they would be treated similar to the convicts, except that this also included women and children.

Exactly as I said, America was a penal colony. Fact. It's not really open for debate you drooling tard.

You said it wasn't, you were wrong.... just embarassing yourself everywhere today aren't you? You need to try and troll someone who is actually dumber than you, that is why you are failing... and that is also why I am so good at trolling everyone :P

LOL @ what an ass you are making of yourself

[blumpkin blownuts]

You can't out-debate me lisa, I'm simply too versatile for you in any application of logic.
You couldn't best me in any academic area, and you can't best me with this babyshit of cherrypicking wikipedia.

[blumpkin blownuts]

you can keep repeating that but that doesn't make it any more correct

I honestly thought you might be secretly intelligent & just hiding it from us as a troll.
Now I'm convinced you are devoid of any kind of intelligence.

[blumpkin blownuts]

And what happened to your nose?

[blumpkin blownuts]

If you are trying to piss me off by ignoring fundamental logic, it's working. Hope it's worth looking like a moron.

we're also a quarter catholic but we are not a catholic country
we're also a quarter blonde, but we are not a blonde country

Goals of colonization

Colonizers came from European kingdoms with highly developed military, naval, governmental and entrepreneurial capabilities. The Spanish and Portuguese centuries-old experience of conquest and colonization during the Reconquista, coupled with new oceanic ship navigation skills, provided the tools, ability, and desire to colonize the New World. England, France and the Netherlands started colonies in both the West Indies and North America. They had the ability to build ocean-worthy ships, but did not have as strong a history of colonization in foreign lands as did Portugal and Spain. However, English entrepreneurs gave their colonies a base of merchant-based investment that needed much less government support.[3]
Mercantilism

Mercantilism was the basic policy imposed by Britain on its colonies from the 1660s. Mercantilism meant that the government and merchants based in England became partners with the goal of increasing political power and private wealth, to the exclusion of other empires and even merchants based in its own colonies. The government protected its London-based merchants—and kept others out—by trade barriers, regulations, and subsidies to domestic industries in order to maximize exports from and minimize imports to the realm. The government had to fight smuggling, especially by American merchants, some of whose activities (which included direct trade with the French, Spanish, Dutch, and Portuguese) were classified as such by the Navigation Acts. The goal of mercantilism was to run trade surpluses, so that gold and silver would pour into London. The government took its share through duties and taxes, with the remainder going to merchants in Britain. The government spent much of its revenue on a superb Royal Navy, which not only protected the British colonies but threatened the colonies of the other empires, and sometimes seized them. Thus the British Navy captured New Amsterdam (New York) in 1664. The colonies were captive markets for British industry, and the goal was to enrich the mother country.[4]
Religious persecution

The prospect of religious persecution by authorities of the crown and the Church of England prompted a significant number of colonization efforts. People fleeing persecution by King Charles I were responsible for settling most of New England, and the Province of Maryland was founded in part to be a haven for Roman Catholics.

but it's getting chilley again!

[blumpkin blownuts]

It was primarily a mercantile colony.

All I said about it being a penal colony or not was I asked you to find a link, in hopes you could realize on you're own that you are wrong. Should've known you'd cherrypick some lil snippet without reading the whole truth.
