Скачать или смотреть Convict Colonies: America's Secret - Clear Lens History Ep2 Trailer

Everyone knows Britain's infamous convict shipments to Australia in 1788 built a penal colony from the ground up—but what if the story of exile across oceans began decades earlier, across the Atlantic? Uncover the buried truth: 52,000 British prisoners sold into servitude in America, where 1 in 10 immigrants to colonial Virginia arrived in chains, auctioned like livestock in newspaper ads ("Just imported: One Hundred Thirty Convict Servants"). Nine signers of the Declaration of Independence even descended from transported felons! When America rebelled, Britain scrambled for a new dumping ground—leading to Australia's legendary tale, while America's convict legacy faded into secrecy.

This riveting trailer exposes the hidden history that shaped two nations, through ship logs, colonial archives, and eyewitness accounts—from the First Fleet's hellish 252-day voyage (where surgeons witnessed "wretches chained and crying in the darkness") to brutal rations, scurvy-ravaged fleets (278 deaths on the Second Fleet alone), and Pemulwuy's defiant guerrilla resistance ("This is our land, you are the thieves").

🔥 Watch the full episode now: The shocking American origins of convict transportation, how 162,000 souls (25,000 women, 137,000 men) forged Australia's egalitarian spirit by 1868, catastrophic impacts on Indigenous Eora people, and why one chapter was erased from history.
