Which of the following statements about the British colony in Australia is true?

Answer

A

It was largely comprised of African slaves who were brought to Australia as part of the triangular trade system.

B

It was established first as a penal colony and comprised mostly of convicts in the early years.

C

It was established for British settlers in response to a devastating hurricane on the British Isles.

D

It was first established as a stop along the dreaded “Middle Passage” route.

Explanation

Britain established its first Australian colony at Sydney Cove in 1788, primarily as a penal colony. In its early years, the settlement included many convicts transported from Britain. The other choices incorrectly connect Australia’s settlement to African slavery, a hurricane, or the Middle Passage.
