@@GarethColquhoun There is indeed an "overarching American culture", and almost none of it is "Scots-Irish". Our language? English, brought here by English settlers. Our holidays? Not one of them Scots-Irish. Clothes? Nope. Architecture? Nope. Cuisine? Not at all. When most people think of American cuisine, for better or worse, they are likely to think of McDonald's, pizza, hot dogs, etc. And you are just naming people who have negligible traces of Scots-Irish ancestry. The origins of rock n' roll can be traced to music forms that originated or were popularized in New Orleans (particularly jazz, which gave the city the name The Big Easy), and New Orleans had been under French and Spanish influence for centuries. African Americans had a more influential role in the emergence of rock n' roll than the "Scots-Irish". And by the way, cultural reductionism is fringe nonsense. The belief that cultures are transmitted across continents and handed down intact for generations or centuries isn't taken seriously by cultural anthropologists or social historians. "The can do spirit like the first man on the moon Neil Armstrong following in the footsteps of his ancestors from Ulster" I blame Jim Webb for this idiotic ancestral hero-worship. If by "can do" spirit you mean the Calvinist work ethic, that was brought here by the English Puritans at least a century before any Scots-Irish were here. And in any event, the architect of the moon landing was astronaut Michael Collins -- not Armstrong -- who descended from Irish Catholics out of Cork.

Yes! Scots Gaelic. Free website to learn. Interestingly enough I am direct descendant of Clan chiefs from Clan Macdonald and Clan Campbell with Norse lineage. Very proud of my ancestry. It also explains a whole lot. My family is the earliest settlers of the United States and my line from both parents are to these clans that came to and still remain here in the south eastern Tennessee Appalachian mountains. The Scottish Irish culture is very much alive and well in these mountains. If you look at the language here (which we are mostly made fun of for) it is more directly connected to our Scot/Irish ancestry than most accents.

We became close friends with the Cherokee and many intermarried. Our language and culture is very different from the rest of the country and has a much "older" feel to it. WE work hard, play hard, love our God and our right to be left alone. . I've not known any people so good hearted as us but we definitely don't like getting told what to do. I was raised being taught all people are equal regardless of race or social status. Most unfortunately we are being washed away by time and change as our northern friends seek to move here. Now here where i'm from 90% of the population has moved here from new England since the last invasion. Now they come because they like the low taxes and culture only to change it and make it like new England where a stranger isn't a friend or neighbor.

What is the DNA of the "Scotch Irish", since there's no such people?

Growing up, we didn't know we were of Scotch Irish descent, but we were proud to be "Hinds", and proud to be American. I remember the first time I heard the bagpipes, I was about 3 years old. I instintly got goose bumps all over. I remember it stirred something inside me, even as a 3 year old, but not knowing why. Yet I've kept that with me all these years. I grew up on a farm in eastern Kansas. My dad would tell us stories about our ancestors...stories he heard growing up. They came on wagons, across the prairie, settling this region. We would drive by a barn, and dad would say, "Your ancestors built that barn a hundred years ago. It'll be there in another hundred years". Or a fence, or a pond. "They dug that pond out with mules! No backhoe or bobcat" In elementary school, we learned about the Revolution. Hearing how we fought for our independence and freedom, stirred something in me again. Sometime in my early childhood, I heard the term "Scotch-Irish", and learned how they were the rugged frontiersman of America. These people seemed to embody everything I felt an American was, and was completely fascinated with them. My family supposed we were English. But, something in me said, "No, that's not right". Well, Ancestry.com came around, and I decided I was going to start doing our family genealogy. Lo and behold, I traced our forefathers on my paternal side to Northern Ireland. Shortly thereafter, both my parents got their DNA done. My mom's side is mostly Scottish. She has found that lots of her early family were Scottish Covenanters. My dad's side is mostly Scottish, with very little English! The name Hind, which is what our last name used to be, is Scottish for a farm servant or plowman! "And he shall plant in the hearts of the children the promises made to the fathers, and the hearts of the children shall turn to their fathers. If it were not so, the whole earth would be utterly wasted at his coming"

Its true that many ScotIrish loved Andrew Jackson. Especially after the Battle of New Orleans. Most Scots Irish settled in Appalachia. We were the first to come into contact with the 1st native Americans. Appalachian settlers at that time were mostly male & were not allways fighting with native Americans. My family bible talks of undying friendship, trade, respect, and even many intermarriage with Cherokee and other tribes. We also abhorred slavery. We were not hypocrites. Thats the reason Appalachian West Virginia wanted to stay neutral in The Civil War & broke away, just as Tennessee was didvided between anti slavery east Appalachia and plantations around Memphis & Nashville. Many Appalachian Scots Irish protected run away slaves. Many became part of their community & family. Many Scots Irish disliked Jackson for his hypocrisy & the peace treaties that he broke with native Americans. They called him a turn coat, traitor, ECT.. for forgetting his own humble heratige and love of his fellow man. He also changed to impress the elite plantation owners and elite, during his presidency.

Yes, the Scotch-Irish were self sufficient. Granted, there were some who had slaves, but that wasn't who they were and not part of the mainstream culture. Those of the Tidewater region, the well established English who were there prior to the Scotch-Irish, were the predominant ones who owned slaves. The Scotch-Irish settled in the rugged regions, the mountainous regions, the wilderness, away from mainstream society, living on the fringe. Over time, the plantation owners moved westward and southward looking for more land for tobacco and cotton as they were depleting the soils nutrients by over working it. As they moved westward and southward, so too did the Scotch-Irish, yet further so. Yes, West Virginia broke away because they were more if the "Scotch-Irish culture", so to speak; isolated, self sufficient, independent. As well as Kentucky, Tennessee, Missouri. It was the Tidewater aristocrats who were in power and control, and were able to convince the Scotch-Irish of their states that the Feds were trampling on their state's rights, yet they were just manipulating the situation to hold on to their power, their land, their wealth, and their slaves.

It seems strange that DNA companies can not narrow those distinctions, but there have been so much migration throughout the British Isles. Also towards the east of Scotland, there were less Gaelic stock, & more Anglo Saxon/Norman 200 years ago. I grew up in East Tennessee. I am young, but my Great Grandmother & both Grandmothers taught me quilting, basket weaving, family bible preservation, & ancient ballad singing from mostly Scotland. My 3rd Great Grandfather served as a Confederate in The Civil War. His writings talk about his 2 most prized possessions during the war. They were his King James Bible & his fiddle. He also wrote about his deep seated beliefs that ALL men were created equal. He had black friends who were slaves. He had no clue he was fighting to preserve slavery. Later he was outraged when anyone even hinted to that idea. In his own words, "We have been called my God to preserve our life, religion, & the soil on where our fathers spilled their very ain blood to Declare our full Independence & to live on our ain terms & traditions. The Union aggressions are keen to destroy all our liberties, freedoms, & independence, by aggressively invading it's ain folk & their land. We only aim to live our lives in peace & never under the tyranny of an over aggressive Central Government". I had to translate a few words because their has always been a very archaic, old English/Scotish dialect, isolated speech style distinctive to Southern Appalachia. It is mostly died out now, but the older folk still speak it. I actually struggled slightly when I went off to college and more so as a 1LT in The US Army. So I totally agree, Ulster Scots love all humanity & never fought for slavery. They were persuaded by using ideals that were near and dear to their hearts. America History also leave out the huge sacrifices made by Scots Irish. The Battle of King's Mountain was a battle fought by primarily Scots Irish. Not 1 ever received a penny to fight, but it was an astounding defeat to Tories & Britain. Many historians & Gen George Washington himself revelled in their victory because it turned the tide of years of very few victories for Patriots in "The Revolutionary War". The battle of Cow Pens, famous in "The Patriot" movie was a simular victory. The Scots Irish were also used as a buffer zone in the outback, between the King's land & The Native Americans, because of their bravery, independence, & fortitude they had the courage to face almost any threat.

@@nancypatterson2215 I'm fairly young myself (28), and serve in the USAF. I love history, especially the Scotch-Irish. Many of my ancestors came from northern Ireland. The Hind were from southern Scotland and northern England, and moved to Ireland, then to Chester, PA, then the backcountry of Virginia. Funny enough they made whiskey illegally. How do I know? Because I found a court document from the 1700s that had my ancestors listed on it, along with their friends the Turks, Allens, Browns and many others. "Hind" actually means a plowman, or farm laborer. It was an occupational name unique to n. England s. Scotland. It's an old Anglo-Saxon word for a household servant. Thank you for sharing your ancestors words. I really enjoyed reading that. I'm named after one of my Confederate ancestors, Richard Riley Hargrove (my name: Riley Albert Hinds). He was from SW Missouri. He wrote family members "Remember, we are all born to die. Keep your gun clean, and all your powder dry." I was raised in eastern Kansas on a farm, the youngest of 7 (6 boys and 1 girl). We were self suffiecient and worked hard for everything we had. I feel like that kind of lifestyle is all but gone now, which is sad to me because it is a great way to raise a family. We spent so many summers exploring the woods, and swimming, camping out, and doing lots of hard work. We worked hard and played hard.

My relatives were Scots-Irish and came here as bond servants in 1623. They paid off their debt never to return but fought in the Revolutionary War and brought that gift of whisky into the mountains after the government declared TAXES on whisky to pay for war debt so they sold their property and moved on west to the mountains of Tennessee where several generations made life even during the Civil War. After, my great grandfather and Mother left the Tennessee mountains for a new land of promise for them, Texas. Our history is printed in the Library of Congress which made our lineage easy to follow all the way back to Scotland lost somewhere in the English hills.

I personally prefer the nomenclature of Ulster Scots as they were traditionally The Presbyterians which is a Scottish religion and my family name is Bell. After my Great Great Grandfather Bell who was born in Clones, County Monaghan, Ulster in 1842 during the Potato Famine the family did not emigrate to America they left Ireland and returned to Scotland to be with other family members. My GGGrandfather emigrated in 1859 from Paisley, Scotland to Philadelphia, he was a tailor by trade and worked in Philadelphia by lived in Lancaster with his wife and children, we were Presbyterians and he travelled by train back and forth to Philadelphia to work. I was fortunate enough to travel to Ireland in 1996 on a tour and even more fortunate that thee tour director listened closely to the conversations of those on our tour because he was very well aware that the majority of tour guests were looking for information about their ancestors from Ireland. They were kind enough to drive through Clones where by GGGRANDFATHER was born, County Monaghan is in the Republic of Ireland now but it is still Ulster and Clones is RIGHT on the border of Nortern Ireland and the Irish Republic so the bus drove into Clones from the Republic and left Clones into Northern Ireland. I was baptized Presbyterian on January 9, 1952 at First Presbyterian Church Lancaster, Pennsylvania which was established in 1732 where George Washington once attended and James Buchanan was a member. I have been in Lancaster all my life and wouldn't ever leave other than for vacation. Although I do prefer the mountains and woods for vacation and thankfully Pennsylvania is full of stunning natural features that don't get old.

My last name is Murphy so I always just assumed I had Irish ancestry. My dad's family is Presbyterian however, and in the Ulster province in the 17th century it is documented that some Scottish immigrants to Ireland anglicized their gaelic names to Murphy. It is possibly that I am actually Scots-Irish then, since most Scots-Irish were Presbyterian.

Much of the philosophy of the American Revolution was based on the writings of another Scottish Presbyterian pastor and theologian, Samuel Rutherford. Rutherford was also part of the Scottish Commissioners to the Westminster Assembly. Sometimes we forget that much of our American roots are from Scotland. My primary progenitors were not Scots-Irish or Presbyterians, they were Puritans. Matthew and Priscilla Grant migrated in 1630 and settled near Windsor, CT. He was the ancestor of U.S. Grant. My direct ancestor was Captain Josiah Grant who served under his cousin, Ethan Allen. My mother's family may have been Scots-Irish as they migrated from Antrim, Ireland on one branch, and Virginia and Kentucky on the other branch.

Many came from Ulster prior to the American Revolution and lived in Western North Carolina for over two hundred years before migrating West to Washington & Oregon shortly after 1900. The spirit of honesty, doing what is right before going ahead, no gov't intrusion, and strong family bonds extending far into extending family are all hallmarks of this nationality carried forward from generations. My mother's side was Scottish, Irish, and Manx, and had the same basic outlook, although in the words of the song, "I played the Harp, I played the Flute, depending upon who I was with" - meaning my mother's family was firmly Roman Catholic and my father's North Carolina Scotch-Irish were firmly Baptist Protestant, and I simply listened didn't take sides, but respected and loved both, and went along with whichever group I was with. Yet, underneath, anyone could see that both of these peoples were children of a common root; both had the same basic values - my mother's ancestors who fought for Bonnie Prince Charlie and consequently emigrated to Nova Scotia, and my mother's father's ancestors who fought for Irish Independence, were imprisoned on the Isle of Man, fought against the English oppression in Ireland.

같은 국민이어야 지여. 왜 나누어 갈등 속에서 헤매랴 합니까. 제발 과거를 다 따지면 뭐 하나 남아나지 않아요. 같이 함께 재미나게 살려고 노력은 해보아야지요. 될것입니다. 투개더. 후리덤.

As an American of Scotch-Irish extraction (German & English too), I become annoyed when anybody over here insists that the right term is Scots-Irish, and really annoyed if somebody from the UK insists that Scotch-Irish is improper usage. This insistence is something that is relatively recent (maybe last 20-30 years). Scots-Irish is not something I heard growing up. If people in Northern Ireland or in the UK want to use Scots-Irish to refer to themselves, fine. But Americans have been Scotch-Irish for nearly 300 years and if we want to continue using that name, that is the proper name for us.

King James changed the law governing individuals owning land in Northern Ireland. In 1700s. The king/crown owned the land. The Scots migrated to Northern Ireland to own their own land. Scots said enough on to America .

Scotch is a drink.

George No really? Wow that’s such a useful tidbit of information

52:50--Jib Webb goes to bat for Andrew Jackson. I just read in a book about Tennesseans in the War of 1812 that after the Battle of New Orleans he left New Orleans and his troops were left to make it home on their own. What a prick. That a General would do that is inexcusable! I already did not like him because of what he did to the Indians. Now I lean this. How can ANYONE say he was for the little man???

Yes, Jackson was indeed genocidal toward American Indians, a homicidal maniac.

Not only did he assist the FBI in the early 2000's to get Epstein convicted, but, he also barred him from Mar-E-Lago. I could go on but I'm not hear to educate you. Do your own research as I have.

Scot. Irish. German. French. Russian. Mexican. VnPho. Show me how you live which is more than lineage and bloodline and stereotypes. And let's here only scantly of politics or viewpoints. Doing is the key- not citing lessons gleaned from the past. Live now. Today. You seek to defend obama by stating ancestry? Did that help? (Everyone knows he was never a rugged individualist.......)
