I found it interesting you said "same 'criminal cast-off' English stock we come from" not many people know that america was used to harbour convicts when the prisons in england overflowed.. they used america for convicts BEFORE australia was even 'discovered'
.. yet somehow we retain the convict "heritage" even though we're a nation of immigrants.. (the second most multi cultural country in the world after israel (which is aided by the religious imperative of jews to move to the holyland)) and maybe 1 or 2% are related to the convicts.. I guess it was just a lot more recent in our history.. and probably we were used for that reason to a greater extent..
