It's a bit obscure but apparently Bligh was better regarded in the Sydney colony. And had a support base of settlers with small farms. It was the military officers he didn't get along with.

2022-01-26 09:33:17 +0000 UTCIf I'm not mistaken, that place in Canada was probably Gander International. It's a weird little airport that just pops up onto you, all two whole gates of it. It's fucking weird.

2022-01-23 00:49:31 +0000 UTCBased on my personal experience, I agree that ceasing to be English is the best thing to do. Devon is actually a really lovely part of the English countryside, but Iโd much rather live in Tahiti at this point. ๐
2022-01-22 23:56:32 +0000 UTCSomehow I'm not surprised; this is the same era of the Royal Navy that gave us the freebooting captain of the HMS Phaeton Leeroy Jenkins-ing into Nagasaki Harbor and bringing the Napoleonic Wars to Japan because he thought there were French people there.

2022-01-22 21:59:41 +0000 UTCWell that explains why so many of the Pitcairn islanders chose to leave.
