There is that book a out " born fighting " that gives a good history of the Scots Irish. Google it and then read it. Also one tactic used by many leaders to get the Scots Irish to go anywhere was the promise of being able to make tax free whiskey. Started way way back when King James wanted them to form colonies in Ireland. The first rebellion against the US Government was the whiskey rebellion under President George Washington.

This is the kind of documentary that should be aired on the History Channel. As much as I enjoy American Pickers, the History Channel seems to have been taken over in a silent coup by Mike and Frank. But, of course, a program such as God's Frontiersmen would be considered too long for the attention span of most people today, and it would probably be hacked to pieces in order to squeeze in 30 minutes of mind-destroying advertisements. Thus is the modern world. Back in 1988, before Iphones, the Internet, and brain-melting Wifi technologies, people still read books and could concentrate on a subject for more than 20 seconds. Anyway, a humble bow to those who put this series together, and to those who posted it here on KZread.

The Scots Irish or Ulster Scots were mainly Covenanter/ Presbyterians who migrated to Ulster from Scotland between 1638-88. In the early 18th Century thousands went to the new world settling initially in Virginia and Tennessee and then moved South and West. Few races made more of an imprint on early America than this ultra tough race of people.

Fighting Patriots the Scot- Irish Ashmore's

The Ulster Scots were impressive in America where they supported independence from the British crown. The ones who stayed at home went in the other direction and became supporters - lackeys might be the right word - of the British crown even though the English had suppressed their religion. This highlights the Jekyll and Hyde nature of the Scots. On one hand they claim to support their country and on the other they don´t. I´m from Glasgow and am half Proddie and half Pape - and have been trying to square this circle all my life. I want Scotland to regain her independence just as the US became independent but it won´t happen until we unite whether we are a Billy or a Dan or an auld tin can.

Ulster Scots

What I don‘t like about this documentary: The quite essential (Northern) English element is not mentioned at all, only the rich elite Anglicans from Southern England. Besides, James I. was a Scottish king, who later also became King of England. He certainly did not speak like a posh Southeastener. Here he‘s portrayed as an English toff. All in all it‘s a pretty anti-English piece of work, although very interesting to watch and beyond the typical clichés about Northern Ireland. I, myself am a descendant of the Eliotts (Borders).
