I'm not a "true Englishman", I'm Welsh (its interesting to note that the English got the longbow from the Welsh :smirk:). But I am British (just like the English).
Anyway we did set up penal colonies in Australia, but by no means did convicts make up the larger part of emmigrnats to Australia.

I just want to clarify that this being a public and open boards if anyone feels the need to respond to a piece of given information you put up in response to someone else, he is free to do it. DO not be so quick to hold contempt for people who do so.On the topic of Australia, they have some great 4 wheeling, just do not get stuck or you get bit by a snake or eaten by a crocodile.

First off don't get snitty with me. People are allowed to post to any question given. So please no attitude needed.Secondly, America was established for religious freedom.
-
America was settled for a thousand reasons, and established for a thousand more.
-
Okay yes yes true. But them main reason that's given in schools is religous freedom hehe
-
Its a good reason to remember :nods:

Ahh , ok casuse i was reading this really good novel, amazinly good, its in the 16th century and the explorer knights paladins, such and such. Its alot like a history books but made more and more interesiting, it didnt say all of em are but something how the English set up the Colonies in the new world and they set the people there, ya know the rest... quick Question, the celt and welsh and irish, your all used to be a Germanic tribe? like the Gauls, Daco-Romans (modern Romania) Yea... But we are better than most people just to let 'ye' know...We are European!
-
Yeah eddie steve (silentrain) is from australia.
-
No thats wrong.Firstly you cant really say "the celts and the welsh and the Irish". Celtic is a racial-cultureal description. The Welsh and Irish are both celtic. Ther germanic influence in Britain is in much of England and southern Scotland which was conquered by Germanic tribes whose cultures merged with the native celts. So the English and Scots are a mix of celt and Saxon, though the Scots have Gael (Irish celt) influence aswell.

I knew it was like that just had to make sure, My friends dad and his mom were welsh, they family runs in 'Yeomen' most of the european bloodline runs through it, my grandparents were once Yeomen, still are Anyway, I was doing some research on my background and such, i found out that if we go back really far in time, Im French/Italian. Remeber somewere in 500-600 A.D with the Roman Empire and the Holy Roman Empire lol something the Teutons and Goths yea yea :P Yes Modern Romania used to called Daco-Roman also called Dacia. Word sounds so sexy im naming my kids after it lol, also a car company in Romania lol :P Yea they took it over then spanish came the vikings, germans french, gauls romans all to the land... and now Romania was born. Essentially Romania has every bits of Europe in it. Im going to do more research on England and Scotland. My question is are Celtic not a tribe who migrated to modern UK? like with the Saxons and such?
-
The Celts were the original migrants to the uninhabited Britain at the end of the Ice age.The Saxons then came later at the end of the Roman Empire and fought with my Celtic ancestors and conquered what is now England.

I'd just like to butt in here and say Woo! to Welsh and Scottish people!!!
