Joe, here is my daughter who knows US history better than I do and she takes from here:
I'm guessing you're referring to Britain's rule over the U.S., right? In that case, America was used by both the French and the British for raw materials, as a colony. Beaver skins, bear furs, all that fun stuff was America's purpose. Believe me, Australia's where all those criminals went. America's for entrepreneurs!

It seems your daughter needs to brush up on her American history.
Tens of thousands of English convicts were sent to colonial America before a single one was ever sent to Australia.
