I throughly enjoyed this documentary. I love learning more and more history of my family. I am descended from the Ulster Scots of Northern Ireland who made their way to America while some stayed. Many of my family members changed their name to Irwin from Irvine. After years and years of researching my genealogy, I am proud of my ancestors and their quest for religious freedom.

Fermanagh is one of the 9-counties that make up the North of Ireland Provence of Ulster. 3-counties of Ulster are now free from English Colonialism and 6-counties are still an English Colony. Ireland itself has a total of 32-counties 26 counties got their freedom after a bloody war of Independence. England was not willing to allow Irish Independence after a Vote of 85% of the Population. the would not leave Ireland without a War. BUT, they will let Scotland go with only a vote. They will not fight to keep Scotland in the UK. They said they will just let them vote the exit. The 6-Irish Colonial Counties in East Ulster is a hot potato for the English doing Brexit. The Republic of Ireland (26-counties) is the European Union and 6-County English Colony is in the Uk and the Good Friday Agreement was reached with the condition of "An Open Border" that will not work without an agreement. Which is not likely.

Scotland is the Homeland. The Scots in Northern Ireland were the transplanted "Tenant Farmers" of the English Landlords. Who got land grants of Irish Lands from the King of England.

Is this where we in America get the term Scots Irish? I’ve always heard my ancestors described in this manner. We settled in the Ohio River Valley, in the foothills of the Appalachian range. Their religion was what I’d describe as backwoods Protestants. Bible readers, but not interested in any formal church. Farmers and traders, up and down the river - even traveling on the rivers as far down as New Orleans to sell their goods. My grandmother’s grandfather Elijah was a well know fiddle player, drinker, and fighter, but he, it was said, found the Lord and gave up his rowdy ways. I haven’t done as well myself 😎😆

After the Exile of the Earls of Tyrconnell (Ulster), the land was given to English Lords and the City of London to create a Profitable Loyal to the Crown Colony and the forced expulsion of Native Catholic Irish from the Northern province of Ulster to the Western province of Connaught where the land was poor and rocky. The Crown Forces put out the order "To Connaught or to Hell". Over 60% of the Catholics were expelled by an English World-Class Army, and the Land was surveyed and divided up and sold to London investors by the Crown with orders to create a Loyal workforce of Lowland Scots and North of England farmworkers. It was called the "Plantation of Ulster". When England pass the "Penal Laws" to persecute Irish Catholics they included Scot Presbyterians too. Both Scot Presbyterians and Irish Catholics had to pay tithes to the Church of England. The Persecuted Scott "Tenant Farmers" to Absentee Landlords living in London were the Rebel Scots-Irish that emigrated to America and Freedom. The Loyalists that stayed behind were the slackers that were obedient to the Crown and adored Royalty over Liberty and Freedom. The 6-county Sectarian Statelet was created. Today, the 6-Counties of North-East Ireland have proved to be incapable of "Self Governance" and their parliament was dissolved, and "Direct Rule from London" is in place now. The Economy of the 6-Counties of North-East Ireland is a "Welfare-Economy" with generations of Loyalists on "The Dole" and a huge burden on English Taxpayers who will no longer be able to afford to feed and house them after Brexit takes place. The Independent Free "Republic of Ireland" (26-counties) has a standard of living and GDP far exceeding that of the UK. Independence and Freedom of Religion and Equal-Rights have made the Republic of Ireland one of the Best Quality of life Nations in the European Union.

+The eaglestar Not correct. Gaelic tribes migrated into Scotland from Ireland during and after the 6th c. They colonised the Highlands and many of the western Isles. They brought the gaelic language, their music and dress into the land of the Picts. Their gaelic kingdoms spanned Sruth na Maoile -Moyle Strait. When St Colomba exiled himself to Iona from Doire he was going to a territory already owned by his family/clan. The Ulster Scots brought their culture to Ulster much later in history under James 1st in the early 17th Century. These people were Lowland Scots and were not of Irish/Ulster origin. But their culture is uniquely different in that their language Ulster Scots reflects an Anglo-Saxon origin as well as Pictish also perhaps. They later absorbed gaelic into their speech in Ulster as this documentary explains. Mixing up your history like this ignores the uniquely evolved Ulster-Scots tradition.

Jay Roberts I think there is quite a strong Irish and Northern Irish origin population in Canada. There are many Irish names, family names and place names. I think that true of the Scottish too. At one point in time the Orange order was stronger in Canada than in the UK. That alone attests to the Northern Ireland Protestant presence, reinforced by the Scottish. Ontario, New Brunswick and here in Quebec had large numbers of “Les Orangeistes”, anti-Catholic and ant-French. There’s published work by an Irish historian called WJ Smyth on this. Small isolated communities still exist of Scottish, Northern Irish and English settlers families, one being in Les Iles de la Madeleine, a little string of islands in the Gulf of St Lawrence, Quebec, where the live alongside their French neighbours, outnumbered 20/1 but retain English as their first. Language and the Anglican Faith despite being such an isolated and small community. Worth looking up again, names like Bell, McClean, Cummins, Dickson, McPhail, Keating, Clarke, one of the progenitors being Douglas Bell from Belfast, baptized at St Patrick’s on the Donegal Road. In Quebec City on the other hand, probably due to intermarriage with French Catholics the Irish families are nearly all Francophone at this stage.

He said, "Out through the whole Empire-Canada, Australia, New Zealand-Ulstermen are strong and powerful. Toronto is an Ulster city. Do not do something which, throughout the length and breadth of our Empire, will turn Ulster against the British connection. God forbid! And do remember that when, through your laws, Ulstermen were driven out of Ireland and went to America, it was thirty-six Ulstermen, smarting under a grievance, who signed the Declaration of Independence." I can't find any information that backs up 36 Ulstermen but I will keep on looking. You mentioned Orange lodges in your post, and I was reading a book about an ambassador to Ghana; it appears the Orange lodges spread there as well!! Apparently Scots Presbyterians went to Ghana and took with them some of their cultural rites, including the Orange lodges. They have over 30 lodges there, and dress up in the full regalia of sash, bowler hat and umbrellas to parade to pipes and drums. The umbrella is a traditional symbol of chieftaincy in Ghana which is why they warmed to it in particular. Here's the stunning bit: every year they send a delegation of Ghanaian Orangemen to the Orange parade in Belfast on 12th July. The mind boggles. There are also Orangemen in Togo who were inspired by the Ghanaian Orangemen, but mainly because they liked dressing up and parading around. However, they did not fully embrace the whole Orange movement.The ambassador recounts them getting a little bit confused on some points, not least that their parade was headed up by choirboys in white surplices carrying a statue of the Virgin Mary, because the 'Orangemen' in Togo were Catholics! Anyway, I hope you have been able to access some essentials from NI, including Tayto crisps, potato bread etc. to remind you of your history. All the best in Canada. I have never been but I have been told it is very beautiful.

(That's like the Nazis killing the Jews in Austria but allowing Austrian Jews to emigrate to Germany to work and live there). Famine was commonplace in Europe those times and poor people suffered most.....not well off Irish people in Ireland's case who could afford alternative starch. Class and affluence where much more of a driver when it came to mortality during times of food stress. Sure there where people like Trevalyn and sectors of the English establishment who where disinterested in the plight of the poor Irish....but they where equally disinterested in the plight of Scottish , English and Welsh poor people.

The Irish are suffering from an affliction of God’s providence." - Charles Trevelyan "The judgement of God sent the calamity to teach the Irish a lesson, that calamity must not be too much mitigated. …The real evil with which we have to contend is not the physical evil of the Famine, but the moral evil of the selfish, perverse and turbulent character of the people." - Charles Trevelyan Racist and sectarian views of the Irish were common amongst the English ruling class.

The Land was illegally taken away by England and a large number of Irish Catholics forced to leave and driven away with absolute violence. Even if some people promote a different story, it does not become the truth. NI shall be given back to mother Ireland, without any terror or violence, and shall keep a certain status of autonomy within Eire.

Hello long ago Cousins in Scotland

The great American writer Malcom Gladwell, explains the blood feud between the Hatfields and the McCoys (famous inter generational conflict claiming many lives) as the behavioural patterns laid down over centuries by the “Border Peoples” of Ireland, Scotland and Northern England. He posits that herdsman (as opposed to farmers) had to project maximum violence to protect their herds to prevent stealing and loss of face. This “honour” culture is deeply, subconsciously ingrained and he describes a simple experiment to expose the physiological tendencies still present, though the cultural,societal circumstances that produced this culture are long since gone. Our oldest legends in Ireland are off Cúchullainn, single handedly fending off the combined armies of Ireland during the “Táin”, an elaborate magical cattle raid. We just don’t have a chance do we?

People should look up Dal Riata, Ulaid, and the Gwyddel-Ffichti/Cruithne before coming to conclusions about Ulster.

We all have the right to live on this island In peace and no one has the right to deny the people that right. But there are those who feel this land belongs exclusively to them and that the British people have no right to be here and this includes the Ulster Scots. Some people would for political reasons say the Ulster Scots people were planted in Ireland by the English in the 1600s. While others would deny their Existence altogether. In 6,000 BC Ireland was covered in dense forests of Pine and Hazel, Oak and Elm .About this time the first people crossed over from Scandinavia to Britain and made their way across the narrow sea ( 11 Miles ) from Scotland to Ulster. Because of the thick forests these people traveled along the river’s and lakes and along the Sea-coasts. They made their way up the river Bann to Lough Neagh and spread slowly Southwards. They were Hunters and Fishermen and lived besides lakes and rivers. According to scholars they were tall, broad shouldered and large chested. Their forehead was broad and high, their hair was Brown, Fair, often Red and their eyes light mixed Blue. Their skin was typically inclined to freckling and very fair. (Celts & Normans by Gearoid MacGearaitt. Ma ( Gill & McMillan press).1969 600 BC the Celts come to Ireland Historians are not sure when the Celts came to Ireland and Britain. It is probable that the first important group of Celts came to Ireland from the lands about the Rhine, up the North sea and across Britain to Ireland we believe they came about 600 BC. (Celts & Norman’s by Gearoid MacGearaitt. Ma ( Gill & McMillan press).1969.) We can see that Ireland was inhabited from around 6,000BC ( The Cruthin) and that the Celts did not arrive until 600 BC ( 5,400 years later ) The Cruthin the original inhabitants became outnumbered and swamped with the arrival of the Celts, They lost most of their language and were subdued by the Celts, but they still held a presence in Ulster. The Gaelic invasion of Ulster The Uí Néill clan of the Celts invaded Ulster. The capital of Ulster, Emain Macha (can be seen today as Navan Fort) seems to have fallen to the Uí Néill (O’Neill) or been abandoned by the Ulstermen around 450 AD within Ulster there was a system of tribal alliances, The dominant political grouping were the Ulaid ( from whom Ulster was to get its name ) they were probably a warrior caste of the ( La Tent ) Celts wielding a lordship over indigenous tribes, among those indigenous tribes were the Cruthin the most populous and important of these Pre Celtic peoples who shared in the over-kingship of Ulster. The Cruthin more often than not bore the brunt of the wars against the Uí Néill Celts and at times claimed that they were the ( Fir Ulaid, ) The true Ulstermen. In the far west of Ulster the Uí Néill conquest was the most complete and the Ulster leaders were driven East, in this reduced Kingdom of Ulster they ( The Cruthin ) attempted to stabilize their power with the erection of “Danes Cast” Earthworks as a visible reminder to their adversaries that they were in no respect a spent force. The Cruthin confronted the Uí Néill Celts in 563AD at the battle of Móin Dairi Lothair (Money More) however seven Kings of the Cruthin were killed. The way was now left open for the Uí Néill Celts to expand further into Ulster to what is today county Londonderry. Two years later the Cruthin over-King of Ulster, Aed Dub Mac Suibni slew the Northern Uí Néill King, a battle is also recorded at Coleraine in 579AD. However it was to be the great battle of Moira that the Ulstermen were to make their most determined effort to call a halt to the Uí Néill expansion. Congal Cláen was possibly the greatest of all Cruthin Kings became over-King of Ulster in 627. By 637 Congal had managed to gather around him a Powerful army which included not only Ulstermen but according to Colgan contingents of Pict,s (Scotland) Anglo Saxons (English) and Britons (Welsh). The battle as depicted in later Bardic romances seem to have been a ferocious affair and as well at the land confrontation it included a naval engagement.

Everything was rosy until some 400 years later the English decided to remove themselves from the Catholic Church while keeping all of the traditions and create the Anglican church. The mountain people... those knuckledraggin fools in the north of Britannia became calvinists. .. fire and brimstone people's who assumed God was watching at all times and in order to please God the needed to repent and work and pray and live and austere life and Vanquis the Catholics. The natives have always been here and they know it's there land the presbyterians have to keep reminding themselves that they are a product of the plantation and they know that this is not their land that's why they continuously put out this type of crap because they're insecure and a grip is loosening.

The descendents of Niall, known as "Ui Neill" took the red hand symbol from these same early Cruithne tribes who were kings of Ulster (Ulaid) too long before any southern alliance of proviences i.e the Republic. Follow Ulster_History on instagram, and i will guide any who seek to reclaim their true Ulster heritage and ancestory to the best of my ability.

Ulster the Land of O'Neill and O'Donnell direct descendants of Neill of the 9-Hostages is as Irish as Irish can be. The rest is unproven hogwash.
