It's of course not some specific move just for Louisiana, France was sending trouble makers and people they didn't want in their society, men and women, to many other remote places that needed warm bodies.
In Britain it was even a sentence handed down by judges - "Transportation" to one of the colonies. Better than hanging, but not by much if a lot of transportees died en-route.
Thank you - So apparently, the initial women that they sent were "casquette girls" then they sent these "correction girls" during a very specific period or region. I wasn't aware of that, was only familiar with the former and the Kings daughters which are seen from a positive light and had much better treatment.
It’s a joke. Since everyone claims they were descended from the first group and no one wants to admit being descended from the second group, if you take it at face value it appears that the first group has tons of children and the second group none.
Let's hope it doesn't mean there has been a large scale "transfer" of children from the second group to the first, as it did in many other instances of this happening.
It seems quite obvious to me: the "casquette girls" volunteered and procreated with abundance while the "correction girls" were forced to the colonies and mostly refrained from procreation. The former found themselves a new home, the latter found this new home to be more of a place of exile.
