Emancipists

Japanese: エマンシピスト（英語表記）Emancipists

These are the convicts and pardoned people who fought to obtain citizenship in Australia from the late 18th century to the early 19th century, and their supporters. Throughout the 17th and 18th centuries, Britain expelled people who were convicted of breaking the law, and in 1786, the colony of New South Wales in Australia was designated a penal colony by Britain. In New South Wales, those who had completed their sentences were given land, and some of them were successful. However, they were excluded from public office and social circles. Governor L. Macquarie implemented a policy of giving opportunities to emancipists, but they were not successful due to strong resistance from the free colonists. In the 1820s and 1830s, as the voting system for adult males was promoted, some influential people and low-income free colonists supported them, and in 1842 the restrictions were lifted and they obtained citizenship.

18世紀末から 19世紀前半にかけて，オーストラリアで市民権を獲得するために戦った刑期満了者および赦免された人たちとその支援者。 17～18世紀を通じて，イギリスは法律を犯して罪に問われた者を海外に放逐していたが，1786年オーストラリアのニューサウスウェールズ植民地もイギリスの流刑地に指定された。ニューサウスウェールズでは，刑期を満了した者たちに土地を与え，そのなかには成功する者もいた。しかし彼らは公職と社交界からは締出されていた。 L.マクォーリー総督は，エマンシピストにチャンスを与える政策をとったが，自由植民者の抵抗が強く，成功しなかった。 1820～30年代になって成年男子の選挙制が推進されるにつれ，一部有力者と低所得自由植民者たちが彼らを支援し，1842年には制限の撤廃が行われ，市民権を獲得した。
