I was taught American and Australian history by Marist Brother, Vincent Daley. Vincent was 100% Irish Catholic'. He was recognised the leading Australian and American history teacher for the whole of Australia. Vincent loved his Irish Catholic heritage. But, the group of people he had the most respect for were the Ulster Scots. According to Vincent this ethnic group produced more pioneers, leaders of industry, university heads, bankers, governors, and US presidents than any other people group. He also added that the first man on the moon had to have had Ulster Scots heritage - Neil Armstrong. Combined with their Scottish cousins, the Scottish / Ulster Scots have had the greatest impact on World progress and innovation than any other ethnic group. BTW, Shane Brennan, executive producer NCIS LA, was taught by and influenced by Vincent.

I am a descendant of Scots-Irishman John Bourland, landed in Virginia in 1750.

The Armstrongs were so bad that the King issued an edict that all Armstrongs were to be arrested at first sight and summarily hanged. When Neil Armstrong, first man on the moon, visited his ancestral home in the Lowlands, the Mayor of the local town pointed out that this Royal edict had never been rescinded, and that he could have Neil arrested and hung. The crowd roared with laughter.

I enjoyed this quite a bit. I am not of Scottish or Irish heritage however, there are many old Scots/Irish older families living in the area where I do. In fact, many of the names reflect places or families from Northern Ireland. In the city I live near there is Cameron Street, Paxton Street, LondonDerry Street, Derry Street, and oh my, too many. It is an interesting local custom that if you are Scots/Irish, when you get married, you should wear kilts and have bag-pipes in your wedding. After the wedding they put their pants back on, but it makes for a colorful wedding ceremony. I know one family that they have dark hair, and one of their children is a ginger. Yup, their Scots. Oh, by the way, the Susquehanna mentioned in this flick is about a 10 minute drive, and eventually the Scots did move across the Susquehanna into the Cumberland Valley. That is now called Cumberland County here in Pennsylvania. While I do enjoy the Scottish heritage (even if I have a PA dutch heritage), they do have one bad historical thing. I am referring to the Paxton boys. They killed off the last of the Susquehannocs, then call the Conestogans.

Hate to correct you Ricky, but for us Americans who have always known who we are and didn't just discover our heritage and history from James Webb's books and youtube videos, the term Scotch-Irish is 100% correct. It is what we have always called ourselves. If you understand our language than you know that the word "Scotch" means the same thing as "Scottish" ( but only Yankees say Scottish ) just like French means the same thing as Frankish. "Scotch" that you buy from a liquor store is just short for "Scotch Whiskey". That is to say Scottish Whiskey or, whiskey from Scotland. The Scotch-Irish are literally the "Scottish-Irish" which makes perfect sense when our ethnic history is taken into consideration. The term "Scots-Irish" makes no damned sense atall to me but, if our folks in the Old Country refer to themselves in that fashion and some of our cousins up North choose to follow suit I'll not argue but as for my kith and kin down here in Southern Appalachia we are now and will forever be Scotch-Irish and we'll thank ye not to correct nor impose upon us!

I picked up an aul book in a church hall and it had Scotch-Irish on its front. I reckon this was book was from the 1930s. My own feeling is that they were known as Scotch even in the UK but with whisky becoming a commercial product they started to use Scots to show the difference. On getting off the boat in America they were called '' a parcel of Irish '' They objected to this. Though time they began to be called Scotch-Irish.

MrRabbrown You are correct that today 'Scotch' is not used in Scotland and it can be seen as a pejorative term but historically it was used by Scots. Robert Burns for instance used it to describe himself and other things Scottish. Those Scots & Scots-Irish whom migrated to America in the 18th century would have used the term 'Scotch' and i guess it stuck there. Many of them still prefer 'Scotch-Irish' to 'Scots-Irish' and don't see it as pejorative... but yeah i get your point, Scottish people don't use that term.

Some came over in indentured servitude while some of my Scottish kin came from Ulster & some did not. Hence, Scots-Irish though that was something commonly put down on immigration forms. People like to make a lot of blanket statements. All were Presbyterian. All were low landers (weren't there slow highland clearances going on in Scotland for some time?) All were this & that. We came over at different times, in different years and for different reasons while managing to reconnect with kin. At least we did in the highlands of Appalachia. On the other side, as far as I know, Cromwell went after the places where my dad's family came from and many of the Down planters were English. I think several were forced off lands & in debt. Same in Scotland. Lawless... I'll give ya that but it comes from both sides.

Someone made the comment below that Irishmen fought on the Federal side during the War. This is discounting any Scotch-Irish or Ulster-descended soldiers on both dies of the Conflict, just the Irish. The known facts these: an estimated 160,000 Immigrant and first generation Irish (Catholics) fought on the government side while an estimated 20,000 fought for the Confederacy. Bearing in mind the Union blockade of Confederate ports and the press-ganging of Irish immigrants as they got off the boats in Union ports, it doesnt surprise anyone.. There were more than a few Irish-American generals in the Confederate armies as well. To the comment that the Scotch-Irish "have neither now nor ever willingly mixed in any multi-racial society and we never damn well will!"... It is ironic that someone should say this considering that the "Scotch-Irish" came about originally as a mix of Irish, Scoti, viking and possibly Picti, Saxon and Norman bloodlines. "Will never mix" you say? You already ARE "mixed"... Once they came to the New World, due to a lack of available females many of the men mixed some with Indians and probably Negroes and English as well. More than one family/clan has an "African in the woodpile". Get used to it, get over it!
