Who immigrated to the United States from Europe and Britain in the early days? I heard that many of them were slave traders and criminals. Do these people account for a large proportion?

In the early immigration history of the United States, the proportion of such people was not very high, and a large part of them were Puritans persecuted in Britain and Puritans, dissidents and poor people in other European countries. .

From 1620 to 165438+ 10, the Mayflower arrived in Plymouth, North America, and by 1640, there were about 20,000 new British immigrants (mostly Puritans) in New England alone.

There are quite a few such people who immigrated to Australia and New Zealand in the early days. Britain also regards Australia and New Zealand as pirates, vagrants, robbers and so on. .
