It should probably happen more. Never to set foot in
the continental US.
Wasn’t there a guy that was put aboard various US ships
never to set foot on US soil again? Revolutionary war?
War of 1812? If the ship was bound for the US he was
transfered off shore...I remember reading about it in
school, but that was a loooong time ago, when they taught
American History.
That is from a short story, “A Man without a Country”, by Edward Everett Hale. It’s only fiction.
