- Title
THE EMIGRATION TO VALPARAISO IN 1843.
- Authors
ABBOTT, G. J.
- Abstract
The article examines the economic conditions and events in New South Wales (NSW) that preceded the emigration of several hundred people from Australia to Chile in 1843. The emigration was the result of the first period of unemployment experienced in NSW following the end of Great Britain's transportation of convicts to Australia and the subsequent implementation of schemes that promoted immigration between 1838 and 1842. The establishment of the "bounty system" by the British Legislative Council Committee on Immigration, which paid bounties to colonists who brought immigrants from certain occupational groups to Australia, is explained.
