What did New South Wales serve as for the British in the late 18th century?
Answer A penal colony
In 1788, the British looked at New South Wales and thought, "penal colony". This is where they sent 160,000 convicts from England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland over the next eighty years. I guess it beats the death penalty.
