My statement made to the French guy?
You want prove for a statement i made at someone else, to settle our disagreement?

The disagreement we had was that geographical location supposedly made it hard for you to colonize, the argument the Frenchy made was that America could grow faster then Australia due to more natural resources. So what exactly are you trying to get here? We had a disagreement previously you haven't settled at all, and then on top of that you want Empirical evidence that America had more immigrants then Australia?

America was colonized in 1607
Australia in 1788

And then on top of that Australia didn't actually send settlers until much later. Its pretty clear that America has had centuries more to develop.

So what on earth does this have to do with your point anyway? You literally have nothing.
