My Scots-Irish family came to Nova Scotia, made their way to Tennessee, the German side made their way to South Carolina, became planters, both sides fought in the Revolutionary War against Britain, the Crockett and White side of the family came to Texas before we were a Republic, some died at Goliad, others at the Alamo. I’m very proud of our family history and the path they paved for us.

Agreed. Even to this day the history taught to Scots in school isn't Scottish history, it's "British". Also Ulster Scots were never even mentioned. If you say something in Scots you get scolded and told to speak "properly". Absolutely ridiculous. Scotland has become too passive of late. Here's hoping the next referendum is the boot up the arse we need to get our act together and start taking back control.

The Scots-Irish were amongst the most significant contributors to the American character, mountain men who explored and opened not merely the Kentucky and Tennessee frontiers but, later, the entire west as we understand it today - the Missouri territory; the free state of Texas; the Dakota territory; and the Rockies from New Mexico to the Bitterroots of Montana. Their ferocious independence, recalcitrant insistence on personal freedom, unmitigated self-reliance, and stalwart religious faith yielded America's birthright ideology, along with the cowboy culture/avocation, country music, denim, mining, tunneling, railroad construction, and so much more. Everything hard in the young United States was taken on and then achieved by these 'roughians' who, while never serious contenders in beauty or hygiene contests, carried an incredible ethos of personal strength, both physical and ideological. Shameful that this magnificent character is today so maligned by the very government to whose establishment it so substantially contributed. As Thomas Paine eloquently declared on their behalf, "It is the duty of every Patriot to protect his country from its Government." Long live the Scots-Irish!!

My fifth great-grandfather and his sons, the Kelso family, fought at Kings Mountain. He was a swordmaker. They came from Ayrshire by way of Ireland on the "Earl of Donegal".

Thank you for these videos, they are very interesting and Informative. I think it should be noted that the Scottish Lowlands were greatly influenced by the religious refugees from Italy and the Low Countries from about the 11th Century. The Flemish people, flooded south Scotland especially in the 15th Century. All had strong Protestant convictions which only strengthened the Covenanters in their struggles against Stuart tyranny in later years. Their influence and sacrifice is also part of the American Story.

My overwhelming feeling about the history is how badly these men were led into the US Civil War over an issue which was irrelevant to most of them i.e. slavery. The leaders of the south could have shifted cotton production to a wage economy as wages were not very high at the time. Added to this the estates were providing accommodation and food for their slaves/workers so wages could be even smaller. This would have kept them onside future emancipation laws. How did they think they could defeat the north with all its industrial resources, greater manpower and greater land resources? Declaring independence was a futile gesture and cost so many brave young men their lives.

I have recently researched my family tree and still live in Northern Ireland I have found links with my family among the Scots Irish going back to Scotland and beyond. This was the time of Elizabeth the first James the 1st Cromwell Charles the 1st onwards. Firstly the Carrickfergus Co Antrim and other areas had previously been colonised by people from Britain and beyond going back to Norman times. Scots settlers were not uncommon in the early days . I suggest reading a book called The History of Carrickfergus by Miskimmin Modern copies of the book are available . It was published in the 19 th century with lots of conformation of events from accepted references.Irelands story is of massacres of the pro British and after the reformation Prodestants . Townlands in Co Antrim were attacked and burned up to the 16th century and beyond Irish chiefs such as Con ONeil were involved and it seems much as the situation in the first settlers to America. James the 1st requested clan chiefs in Scotland to settle Co Antrim especally as it was closest to Scotland. Montgomery and Hamilton were not the only ones involved. My own ancestors came over and settled near Larne. From reading family records they were under constant attack by the Irish an and Scots raiding bands that came for cattle and killed farmsteaders. As stated these were mostly Presbyterians who saw God as the head of the church not Jing James who declared himself to be head of the church.leading to persecution of those who would not accept this. Despite being attacked constantly The crown refused to send soldiers to protect them in fact one group of soldiers who did come over killed more settlers and stole cattle than the Irish. During king James 2's time a lot of the Massacres caused on the settlers wer blamed on the Covanters in various London News sheets who backed zking James against King William. The garrison of Carrick Castle was Roman Catholic having been established before seige of Derry and the Scots Irish were under persecution by them as well which caused a number to migrate to America..This story is told fully in Miskimmon. Con ONeil was jailed because he sent his servants out to buy wine and they came across soldiers guarding a cart carrying wine so killed some of the soldiers and stole the wine. On telling Con Oneill he sent them back out to kill more. The rope in the cheese is true. Instead of being locked in the castle he was given permission to walk in the town daily and only kept in his cell at night so the actual jailing was minimal. My family records show members of my family going to America and several were lost to fighting Indians also through fighting g in the Civil war. The reason the Ulster Scots were such good fighters was they had plenty of experience while they lived here.. A good telling of the story but with some gaps filled in.

This my Anderson clan, headed to Montgomery Grayson Ashe counties

many of these ulster scots would still have been full scots having lived in ulster only a few years or even months then migrating to the americas

and so it came to pass that Irish, Scots, English or Welsh live happily together in England no matter which church they lean towards...funnily enough.☮

Same in the republic of Ireland pity the ulstermen can't learn from our example.

Ive met not one American who has been taught in school that our Constitution ia modeled after the Scottish Declaration of Arbroath. Further, Ive not heard one President of which 75% have Scottish lineage, openly recognize and or praise their heritage.

The first thing to understand about the Scots-Irish is that they were protestants.... and why does this matter? Because their religion held that nobody stood in the 'shoes of the fisherman' (St. Peter).... no priest, prelate or Pope. On the day of judgement you would have to answer for the way you had lived your life to God and only God and the only way you could learn how you should live your life was in the Bible; so if you couldn't read what happened?... then you were in real trouble. This was the origin of Sunday schools. Sunday schools taught children to read and write on the only day of the week that they didn't have to work. In the 17th century Scotland became the first literate nation in the world, where 70% of the population could read and write.... and this at a time when the people regularly starved and died young from poverty and various foul diseases. Education became all-important in Scotland and Ulster. At a time when England, with about eight times the population of Scotland, had only two universities (Oxford and Cambridge), Scotland had four (Glasgow, Edinburgh, St. Andrews and Aberdeen). This is what gave the Scots-Irish pre-eminence in the new United States, not their 'fighting prowess'. It also led to the Scottish Enlightenment of the 18th century, which discovered the science of economics and a workable system of common law, which then enabled the industrial revolution and the creation of the modern world. In other words, the mess we're in nowadays is all the fault of the Scots-Irish, so forget all the rubbish about whisky and fighting prowess. The answer is education, education, education.

The Scots -Irish is an American term , These people do not understand English Scottish Border history. The 3 Scottish Borders were neither English nor Scottish , From the 12th to 16th Centuries they fought the English further South and the Scottish further north .They built fortified towers , known as Pele Towers to keep their families and Cattle safe when they were attacked.They went on raids into England SCotland to steal back their cattle.The Scts? Irish need to read The Steel Bonnets or The Border Reivers to find out the true story off their ancestors . The area is sparsely populated even today . There have never been more than about 80,000inhabitants at any one time . Genetically the Border REivers are of Viking descent.and the Cumberland dialect is about one third Norwegian. There were about 30 main Reiving families or Clans THey mostly live in tHeir ancestral area even today , Migration paterns south west iNto England , and North into the Central lowlands can be easily followed.. The largest Border Clans were the Grahams, The Armstrons, The Nixons, the CRozers, The Bells the Johnstons . When he became King James I of England as well as King James VI of Scotland , he stopped the Border raids once and for all . The most trouble some Reiving famiies were sent to Ulster , although some of the Grahams were sent to what is now Belgium , A noted English Borderer today is Sir FErgus Graham of Netherby, north of CarliSle. People descended from Reiving families who moved from Ulster to America, include President Johnson(Johnston), the evangelist Billy Graham, Presiden Richard Nixon,and the first man on the Moon Neil Armstrong . My husband's great Uncle migrated to Liverpool, was HeadMaster at Quarrybank school and his son Graeme Nixon taught the Beetles , and frequently put John Lennon intp detention Because the Reiving Families have not moved much for over a thousand years , when we did my husband's DNA , it came out as 59% Norwegian 22% Swedish, 18% Scottish and only 1% English , even though he has lIved south of the Border all his life.

Codswollop, some of the most ardent Irish republicans fought on the Confederate side. All Irish are Scots Irish. The Romans called Ireland Scotia Major and Scotland was called Scotia Minor. The Scots and the Irish were all one Celtic race and they all spoke the same language. The term Scots-Irish is only a recently invented item. In 501 the Irish High King sent over his son Fergal Mor to act as the Prince of Dalriada which then fell under the High King and which eventually enlarged and became Scotland. The Stewarts were the descendants of the Irish High King.

Hardly a mention of the native Irish and their resistance after the 9 years war its a miracle they survived the centuries of oppression and now have a choice of their future destiny hopefully unite with the rest of the people on this Island in EU 🇪🇺

The Scots Irish are one of the same as the Irish, the only thing that changed was their religion the peoples of Ireland and Scotland were crossing back in forth long before the Romans invaded England. The Blood of the Gaeilge people of Ireland and Scotland was part of their kingdom, not just to me the Irish and the Scots Irish are one people.

Your either Scottish or Irish, you might have parents from either side but cannot be what you say unless you're an American

There is no comparison between Scot/Gael and Iberian/Irish genetically different. Check out the travelling families in hIberiania.. no comparison.Vatican added to this too. Lawless Iberian /Irish and this is what they enjoy and promote in their country.

"Scotti" is what the Romans called the Irish. When some Irish tribes went over to northern Britain, the land became known as "Scot-land"...Land of the Irish! If you're "Scots Irish" you're 100% Irish-Irish!

Um. No

33:50. Yes ALL Confederates fighting in the Civil War WERE fighting to preserve slavery. Irrespective of what the individual soldier thinks he is fighting for, the political and military objectives are established by your political and military commanders, hence by being a soldier in their military force you become the blunt instrument through which those objectives are pursued. This why today we have so many conscientious objectors. You can't lend yourself to a government and force whose goal is to secure an objective to which you disagree. In the case of the Scots Irish, the same rebellious fervor which saw them fight the English Anglicans and Catholic Irish in Norther Ireland and the Crown in the Americas should have instructed them wrt the wrongness of African slavery and the foolhardiness of ripping up the very nation that their fathers and grandfathers fought to create in the Revolution!
