In reality there was no such thing as a pirate accent. Pirates came from everywhere and anywhere. They could have had a Spanish, French, Irish, Welsh accent or anything else conceivable. The stereotypical pirate accent as that of a West Country Englishman is only due to Robert Newton choosing that accent for the 1950's Treasure Island movie.

Finally, a ray of light on this dark, dull & distorted portrait of these people.

My grandparents are from rural Michigan. They didn’t have indoor plumbing and central heating. They relied on outhouses and fireplaces. When my dad and aunt were young, they all moved to California. Even though grandma and grandpa have been here for a long time now, they still have retained their midwest accents. They both come from a line of hardworking people and that has been passed down to my dad, his siblings, and us kids.

It's so wonderful to hear the truth, bolstered with facts, and I dearly love Mr. Sowell's term "THE ANOINTED" it fits perfectly.

I'm a true hillbilly. I'm a West Virginian. My family has lived in this area since the late 1700's. I understand bigotry towards my family and friends.

If you and your family embrace most of the norms of modern civilized society, then you are a liberal in the sense of that term as used by political scientists and economists. But if you instead refuse to follow the law and engage in multi-generational blood feuds, distilling moonshine, and refusing to pay taxes or recognize the federal (or even state) government, then you are a true "hillbilly" in the historical sense that Thomas Sowell is describing in this chapter of his book. Also, Sowell is NOT a "liberal" in any conventional, traditional, or typical sense of the word, as it is used by popular media personalities, such as Rush Limbaugh or those on Fox News, Newsmax, and One America News Network. As the word "liberal" is used by academics, by experts in "political science," however, anyone who believes in representative government, free and fair elections, lightly regulated trade, individual rights, the Bill of Rights, and universal suffrage IS a liberal. If you believe in these things, then you are a "liberal" in the sense outlined above, as the term is used broadly by political scientists (and economists).

Thank you Dr. Sowell for this mini-documentary. The way that the English changed Scotland was to make them partners in prosperity through the Acts of Union 1707. The Ulster Scots (and other so called "rednecks") in the Southern US did not achieve this status until the mid-twentieth century mostly due to the institution of slavery. There was virtually no middle class in the antebellum South. While the rich plantation owners held their slaves in low esteem, at least the slave had value to them. The "poor white trash" did not. In fact part of the motivation for the widespread use of slavery was in order to keep the "white trash" from increasing in numbers and opposing the rich white landowners politically. Until the 1920s, elections in the South were held in public places and these poor whites had their votes cast and tallied on chalkboards in front of their landlords and employers. Who made note of anyone not voting as they were "supposed to". The growth of a middle class in the South paralleled the decline in racism there. Today most middle class Southerners in the suburban and rural South hold no prejudice towards their neighbors over skin color or other factors often used to divide the common people, for in fact they all have much more in common with their neighbors and work mates than they do with those people of the elites that attempt to spread bigotry among them for political gain. Still more infuriating to these "upper class" is that said middle class are fully aware of those facts.

I think that's the key matter that isn't being touched on properly in this video; class. "Rednecks" never disappeared from Britain, the name for them just changed over time. Nowadays we call them 'chavs'. Britain was always a place where class mattered, and the upper and middle class looked down on the working class as uncouth and having poor morals and cleanliness. If you were rural poor, there could be some sense of admiration between classes, as you were integral to your 'lord's' wealth. But the poor in cities were always slum kids with no manners as far as everybody else was concerned. We see the same pattern through every part of English history that I can think of. It's not surprising that it transplanted to America. Like most everything else, class plays a way bigger part than most people seem to be aware of. They spend all their time looking at race, and they miss the glaringly obvious in front of their faces. That's why the ruling powers constantly stoke the fire of racism, because they know that the moment people forget race they will recognise the real problem and turn on their 'masters'.

It is a force of nature, or what is commonly referred to as 'nature of the beast'. Even when you try to desegregate and integrate, you will find that most people naturally segregate.

The mortality rate of Blacks after the civil war was lower than after emancipation. There was much debate about the wisdom of just freeing slaves or of putting them on a mandatory integration program. We do the integration things with people applying to become citizens. It's a must. There were those who did work to acculturate the ex-slave and any black from the south. With 4,000,000 ex-slaves, the effort was monumental and not done completely. The autobiography of Fredrick Douglass gives some insight into the issue.

This mentality still persists in Britain, the points Sowell makes about lowering educational standards, the welfare state and the breakdown of the family unit in the US seem so relevant, I fell into the peer pressure of thinking that rude boys coming mostly from broken homes were the ones to follow and anyone trying to educate and improve themselves wasn't cool or trendy and they were the bods, nerds or squares.

Very little actually. DNA analysis of Appalachians 61% English, 21% Irish, Scottish and Welsh combined.

Ulster is a province not a county, 6 Counties in the North and 3 in the Republic of Ireland, 9 Counties in total.

I hate to correct the great man, but Ulster isn't a "county"; it's a province comprising six counties🎉

Correct …

Painting with too broad a brush and ignores the millions who have worked extremely hard to improve their lives.

Australia was populated with the same people from all across England, Scotland and Ireland, just as in the American south, yet we are not a nation of idle, drunken, illiterate, hicks. I'm not convinced that their cultural origins dictated their lifestyles in America, Australia was built by those very same cultures who were industrious, motivated and productive. Could it be plausible that their unmotivated idleness was brought about as a consequence of their southern slave culture which freed white people from the burden of performing manual labour or tasks they perceived as below them? A similar aloof, idle lifestyle is also found in aristocratic and elite societies.

I don't think the poor whites were gaining anything from the labor of slaves. I'm sure they still had to produce their own clothes and food just like the Aussies or they would have to do without.

Met your local Eshay yet? .. Also if you were living in Australia more than 100 years ago and didn't build a work ethic, the country would kill you. We now have welfare to erode that noble characteristic.

wrong, South British colonies in America was colonised mainly during 17 and 18 century for people from Uster, North England and others periferic regions of Britain, and Australia was colonised during the 19 and 20 century, when the culture of these region was already anglicized and industrialized.

The average southerner had to do manual labor because most people were too poor to own slaves, so the culture from Britain was probably the main reason, Australia is not like that because our culture became modernized during the final stages of the British Empire which brought over a more civilized working and middle class batch of settlers as recent as the 20th century (the early Liberal party were advocates of British Imperialism for population growth), also we have influences from migrants from other parts of Europe as well as Asia after the end of the White Australia Policy, Australia is more comparable to California than the South even if we do have some people who think and act like southerners (I've personally met some, even one old man who had a rhotic west country accent, but they're pretty rare).

These were called the UNDESIRABLES and shipped to the East of America, while Spain occupied the West. It also explains why that region still acts that way.

As a Pittsburgher (Western PA) This is interesting as all get out. Pittsburgh is...Well... Weird. It is "technically" in the Northeast, But CULTURALLY it's mainly Midwestern with a bit of Southern attitude hiding a bit under the surface. This is MAINLY due to our location on the map, But also our historic immigration patterns. We are an oddball mix. This city has a Scots-Irish origin with a LARGE German population (As is the norm for Pennsylvania) later Italian and Eastern European influxes and the "Great Migration" of southern Blacks added the rest of the spice to our somewhat unique "sauce". An 'Nat. As to how Pittsburgh and Chicago came to have the word "Jagoff", and nowhere else? Um. IDK!

No surprise my comment was either immediately deleted or censored

Ulster is in Northern Ireland, not England.
