Convicts Transported to Colonial America: Little Know Facts
By Doug Phelps
Between 1718 and 1775, approximately 50,000 convicts were transported out of Britain. Probably 90% went to Virginia, Maryland, and Pennsylvania. Annapolis and Baltimore were favorite ports. Of the 7,010 transports shipped by government contractors from 1718 and 1744 as many as 6818 (97%) were shipped to the Chesapeake. Between 1746 and 1775 Maryland alone received 9423 representing 40% of ALL immigrants and slaves during that period. Most were from England, but also from Scotland and Ireland.
Convicts were convicted on charges ranging from forgery and pick-pocketing to capital offences. Since humiliation was part of English punishment, some chose to be transported instead of punishment and embarrassment at home. The concept of exporting convicts was popular with the public since it reduced or eliminated jails and hangings in England. Once convicted they often endured a disease-infected jail until being shipped out. Once aboard ship they were out of the hands of government and at the mercy of ship captains, usually in slave-like environments. Upon reaching America they were sold to the highest bidder in auctions like livestock. Some were bought by “wholesalers” who marched their inventory to remote areas.
The standard servitude was seven years but capital felons served 14 years. Convicts sold for much less than slaves unless they had useable talents. So convicts instead of slaves were bought by the less well-to-do. At the same time indentured servants typically served for 5 years.
