Experience

• What job did most Palatines have and why did this impact them negatively?

  Most were agricultural labourers

  This weren't really needed in England with a bad harvest in 1709 and limited other skills many Paltines struggled
• Because of the war with Spain the English government was no longer willing to do what?

  Fund the Palatines trip over to America (no charities or anyone had money to help)
• What did the government do in an attempt to solve their life in poverty as well as their unneeded presence in England?

  They deported 3000 of them to Ireland (they were hated here because of the religious difference as well as the Irish's dislike for the English. For the Irish the Palatines deportation was seen as a British attempt to spread Protestantism.) Many ended up coming back
