My Scots-Irish family came to Nova Scotia, made their way to Tennessee, the German side made their way to South Carolina, became planters, both sides fought in the Revolutionary War against Britain, the Crockett and White side of the family came to Texas before we were a Republic, some died at Goliad, others at the Alamo. I’m very proud of our family history and the path they paved for us.
I'm a McNamara and the legacy of the Scots-Irish in North America cannot be ignored. We came on coffin ships from the famine, were deported from Britain with the slightest excuse and yet we prevailed and thrived. We are and we will be.
As a Scot it was very interesting and informative to lean all this its about time they are recognised what they did do and helped shape America..It is such a shame this History is not learned in our own Scottish schools i can honestly say i have learned more about my country's History after i left school which is very sad..Thank you so much for sharing this ..Love and hugs to all you Scots - Irish ...We are very much the same over here to this day. x
Agreed. Even to this day the history taught to Scots in school isn't Scottish history, it's "British". Also Ulster Scots were never even mentioned. If you say something in Scots you get scolded and told to speak "properly". Absolutely ridiculous. Scotland has become too passive of late. Here's hoping the next referendum is the boot up the arse we need to get our act together and start taking back control.
Amen to theses Scot comments. My roots are also there, from Scotland to Northern Ireland, then to America in 1784 from Armagh, Ireland. Don’t get me riled.
We were taught ENGLISH history- all part of keeping Scots in their place and diminishing our role, making us 2nd best, rather than giving us an understanding of who we are and the important role Scots and Scotland played in the development of the modern world.
Can’t help thinking about Glen Campbell’s songs about West Virginia. Blue Ridge mountains Shanandoha river etc. As a Scot of settler’s descent I really enjoyed your video. Thanks. We were still used as fighters during later wars by the British army and still are. Not because we like fighting, but we are passionate for the right cause.
Yet there is good and bad in all cultures and peoples. The Celts had their bad ones too. But as a culture mainly based on the 'Honour' system , they bore less I'll will towards thier fellow man . But the high degree of personal honour was also the main cause of conflicts . They became fiercely proud.
Watch the YT video on Robert Campbell, the immigrant man whose American made wealth eventually went back to Ulster and lifted many poor Campbells up out of poverty.

I got Scots-Irish in my family ancestry and history. My Scottish ancestry was from Central and Highlands of Scotland . They settled in Antrim. Interesting to find out they intermarriage with the Catholic natives. Then moved and lived in Donegal, and years later moved to Southern Ireland 🇮🇪. Finally they moved to the Appalachian Mountains of Maryland.. I thank The LORD GOD JESUS THE CHRIST for blessing my ancestry with Scots-irish Mountain Men and Women. ❤
My fifth great-grandfather and his sons, the Kelso family, fought at Kings Mountain. He was a swordmaker. They came from Ayrshire by way of Ireland on the "Earl of Donegal". I have a book about them that describes their treatment by the British before and during the revolution, among other things. Praise God for people like these early settlers who had backbone.
If they came from Ayrshire, then they were British. Scotland, England and Wales are on the island of Great Britain, so all it's people are British. Americans don't appear to be able to get their heads around this.
@@johnfinister5011 Choose your battles and don’t drown in a puddle of water but I have lived in a Roman Catholic country. Mexico has been called more Guadalupano than Cristiano. El Salvador is, too. I believe more than ever the faith of my fathers even though I’ve never been to Scotland. When Jesus breathed his last, the veil of the temple was ripped from bottom to top, opening up our relationship with God. We no longer need any other intercessor but Jesus Christ. If Donald Trump had been proud of his mother’s ancestry, he would be POTUS still. She was a Presbyterian and that Bible, which she probably carried in a tiny suitcase when she left the hard soil and rough waters of the Scottish Hebrides, was the Bible Donald Trump held up in front of the burned church. It had been used in Awakenings or Revivals led by his elderly aunts, too crippled to leave their home but able to mentor a young pastor named Donald Smith, a cousin of Mary MacLeod.
@@johnfinister5011 "Scotland" is named after the Irish tribes (Scotti) that lived there in ancient times, so, in reality, the people there are of Irish descent. It's a bit like the people of England being of "Angle" (Danish) descent. The land of Britain has always been a melting pot.

Outlander fan, but also history lover here. I saw the first part a while back, and have been waiting a few years to see the end of this documentary. Thanks for putting it back on the list.
I’m from Scots-Irish heritage. My family were bell founders so they were pretty nomadic throughout Ireland, Scotland and parts of England. They went where they were needed. Came to America about 1700.
What a wonderful legacy. Enjoyed both parts, as well as James Webb’s book by the same name. It’s no wonder that I served 30 years in the USMC, as my former wife remarked, it’s in my blood.
The Scots-Irish were amongst the most significant contributors to the American character, mountain men who explored and opened not merely the Kentucky and Tennessee frontiers but, later, the entire west as we understand it today - the Missouri territory; the free state of Texas; the Dakota territory; and the Rockies from New Mexico to the Bitterroots of Montana. Their ferocious independence, recalcitrant insistence on personal freedom, unmitigated self-reliance, and stalwart religious faith yielded America's birthright ideology, along with the cowboy culture/avocation, country music, denim, mining, tunneling, railroad construction, and so much more. Everything hard in the young United States was taken on and then achieved by these 'roughians' who, while never serious contenders in beauty or hygiene contests, carried an incredible ethos of personal strength, both physical and ideological. Shameful that this magnificent character is today so maligned by the very government to whose establishment it so substantially contributed. As Thomas Paine eloquently declared on their behalf, "It is the duty of every Patriot to protect his country from its Government." Long live the Scots-Irish!!
I notice there's no mention of George Washington's treachery. After the Scots Irish turned the tide of the Revolutionary War, he showed his gratitude by imposing duty on their whiskey and sending in the army when they refused to pay. I suspect part of the reason so many Scots Irish joined the CSA is because they'd learnt that government from Washington was no different than rule from Westminster.
Who are the Scots-Irish? There is no such race. The Scots live in Scotland and across the Irish sea live the Northern Irish in Northern Ireland and the Southern Irish in Southern Ireland. Separate races.
Who are the Scots/Irish, they never existed. The Ulster/ Scots were Scots who moved from Lowland Scotland to Northern Ireland as planters. They then emigrated to North America.
Thank you for these videos, they are very interesting and Informative. I think it should be noted that the Scottish Lowlands were greatly influenced by the religious refugees from Italy and the Low Countries from about the 11th Century. The Flemish people, flooded south Scotland especially in the 15th Century. All had strong Protestant convictions which only strengthened the Covenanters in their struggles against Stuart tyranny in later years. Their influence and sacrifice is also part of the American Story.
A brilliant documentary I enjoyed both parts and want to thank you for posting. Narrator was good, don't know if he wrote it, but he was the perfect type to present it. My overwhelming feeling about the history is how badly these men were led into the US Civil War over an issue which was irrelevant to most of them i.e. slavery. The leaders of the south could have shifted cotton production to a wage economy as wages were not very high at the time. Added to this the estates were providing accommodation and food for their slaves/workers so wages could be even smaller. This would have kept them onside future emancipation laws. How did they think they could defeat the north with all its industrial resources, greater manpower and greater land resources? Declaring independence was a futile gesture and cost so many brave young men their lives.
@@mickey1849 Appreciate that brother. But that was then, this is now. Time brings perspective and I believe in fair play and plain talking. You can't fight for freedom while enslaving others and my beef is with southern leaders who misled poor homesteaders to their deaths. I judge people on the content of their heart and head not the colour of their skin. And deep down, everyone knows that's the right thing to do, anything else is just words - or xxxxxxit to put it more clearly.

No there has been immigration between Scotland and Ulster from the ice age.The Anglo Irish were in Ireland before the Ulster Scot planters though your correct not all of which came from Scotland about 30% came from Northern England on the Borders and were thieves raiding bout countries known as the border Reivers the King felt a good way to deal with them was send them to ulsters

🎉I wont be making any incendiary remarks here. As a Scot living in USA I say this....give credit where it's due. My people are the McCanns of Ulster. My Da came some say....from Spain. That is your dark Scot....Blackish hair. Like me......we fight for freedom against tyranny of all kinds, it's in our blood I guess maybe because we hail from the sea fareing folk..... perhaps even the Vikings......be proud of your blood and for Gods sake seek peace. But fight if you must.
So little I know of my family’s old history. But Dad always said (as if one long word) ScotchArishEnglishCherokeeBlackfeetTribe. I just say American. But I do wonder about those past generations & their experiences.
What impresses me is when I look back at the origins of my ancestors going back 400 years on this continent is that virtually all of them were of Ulster Scots or allied Northern English stock. I believe they all stuck together without even realising their common origin, both through an easy sense of community and because they found themselves still living in the same areas their ancestors had settled as pioneers in the wilderness.
The first thing to understand about the Scots-Irish is that they were protestants.... and why does this matter? Because their religion held that nobody stood in the 'shoes of the fisherman' (St. Peter).... no priest, prelate or Pope. On the day of judgement you would have to answer for the way you had lived your life to God and only God and the only way you could learn how you should live your life was in the Bible; so if you couldn't read what happened?... then you were in real trouble. This was the origin of Sunday schools. Sunday schools taught children to read and write on the only day of the week that they didn't have to work. In the 17th century Scotland became the first literate nation in the world, where 70% of the population could read and write.... and this at a time when the people regularly starved and died young from poverty and various foul diseases. Education became all-important in Scotland and Ulster. At a time when England, with about eight times the population of Scotland, had only two universities (Oxford and Cambridge), Scotland had four (Glasgow, Edinburgh, St. Andrews and Aberdeen). This is what gave the Scots-Irish pre-eminence in the new United States, not their 'fighting prowess'. It also led to the Scottish Enlightenment of the 18th century, which discovered the science of economics and a workable system of common law, which then enabled the industrial revolution and the creation of the modern world. In other words, the mess we're in nowadays is all the fault of the Scots-Irish, so forget all the rubbish about whisky and fighting prowess. The answer is education, education, education.
1st thing to understand about Education is that it never was Constitutionally under a national umbrella. 1A freedom of Religion Speech Press THE RIGHT TO ASSEMBLY & PETITION GOVERNMENT FOR REDRESS OF GRIEVANCES
and so it came to pass that Irish, Scots, English or Welsh live happily together in England no matter which church they lean towards...funnily enough.☮
Interesting & often very accurate as an Ulster born descendant of Lowlander Scottish i think the regularly used parlance of "Scotch~Irish " would be not so appreciated by the Antrim folk ,i think "Ulster scotch" would be the more common & appropriate vernacular . As a descendant of 2 executed United Irishmen during the 1797 uprising religion could play a uniting secondary role after rebellion towards the crown first ,although this wasnt always the case . Southern regiments of UI trekking North had slaughtered all & any that were nt of the Roman faith alas . My Ancestor William Orr of Faranshane was put to death outside Carrickfergus Castle for administering the United Irishmens oath to 2 men , not only did he pay but his elderly Mothers home was put to the cruel spleen . His last will & testament decreeing he was 1st an Irish born Irishman unprepared to denigrate or persecute his Irishmen of Roman faith for the crown ,still dying a faithful Presbyterian uwilling to perform the British divide et impera .On My Paternal grandmothers side McCrackens of CoDown [Blackskull] Henry Joy McCracken was put to death at the bridge of toombe , Toombesbridge today ,also hung for participating in the uprising of 97 also as United Irishmen . We ALL from Ulster would be lying if we would be so stupid to say our forefathers all singularly were from 1 religion ,thats unrealistic ,however i alas also knew good people who paid with their lives simply for being born "into "a faith ,some not even religious or church going this mattered not to sectarian tit for tat killers . Ulster [CoArmagh] has changed much since the ceasation of violence not that its completely gone , gangland thugs still causing bloodshed or the risk & danger some are prepared to risk by as i mixing with all creeds and kinds . I have played Irish traditional music most of my life and am known as the Orr who played Irish music on a silver flute [not a wooden irish flute more common in traditional music ] Even as my older brother spent over a decade behind the wire in H blocks as a "loyalist "prisoner never once was i ever challenged over or about his deeds by my friends "from the other side" had i lived permanently in Armagh [Lurgan a very bloody divided community ] ive no doubt it would most likely have cost my life not killed by my brothers enemies but more the community i grew up in ,as a frateritising "fenian lover" we Irish either Ulster Scotch or no are at our strongest when we realise & recognise we are all from - Both sides of the tweed ua-cam.com/video/tu7QkTjTdM8/v-deo.html
Wish more ulstermen thought like you not nessaraly that a United Ireland was the way to go as someone from the republic I think that's for northern Ireland to deside that all the best parts of all cultures on this island should be imbraced and everyone be excepted no matter what their faith or none.
I have recently researched my family tree and still live in Northern Ireland I have found links with my family among the Scots Irish going back to Scotland and beyond. This was the time of Elizabeth the first James the 1st Cromwell Charles the 1st onwards. Firstly the Carrickfergus Co Antrim and other areas had previously been colonised by people from Britain and beyond going back to Norman times. Scots settlers were not uncommon in the early days . I suggest reading a book called The History of Carrickfergus by Miskimmin Modern copies of the book are available . It was published in the 19 th century with lots of conformation of events from accepted references.Irelands story is of massacres of the pro British and after the reformation Prodestants . Townlands in Co Antrim were attacked and burned up to the 16th century and beyond Irish chiefs such as Con ONeil were involved and it seems much as the situation in the first settlers to America. James the 1st requested clan chiefs in Scotland to settle Co Antrim especally as it was closest to Scotland. Montgomery and Hamilton were not the only ones involved. My own ancestors came over and settled near Larne. From reading family records they were under constant attack by the Irish an and Scots raiding bands that came for cattle and killed farmsteaders. As stated these were mostly Presbyterians who saw God as the head of the church not Jing James who declared himself to be head of the church.leading to persecution of those who would not accept this. Despite being attacked constantly The crown refused to send soldiers to protect them in fact one group of soldiers who did come over killed more settlers and stole cattle than the Irish. During king James 2's time a lot of the Massacres caused on the settlers wer blamed on the Covanters in various London News sheets who backed zking James against King William. The garrison of Carrick Castle was Roman Catholic having been established before seige of Derry and the Scots Irish were under persecution by them as well which caused a number to migrate to America..This story is told fully in Miskimmon. Con ONeil was jailed because he sent his servants out to buy wine and they came across soldiers guarding a cart carrying wine so killed some of the soldiers and stole the wine. On telling Con Oneill he sent them back out to kill more. The rope in the cheese is true. Instead of being locked in the castle he was given permission to walk in the town daily and only kept in his cell at night so the actual jailing was minimal. My family records show members of my family going to America and several were lost to fighting Indians also through fighting g in the Civil war. The reason the Ulster Scots were such good fighters was they had plenty of experience while they lived here.. A good telling of the story but with some gaps filled in.
I like how the theme of this series is " independence", and every war the Scots-Irish were involved in was about independence, yet when it comes to the war between the states, all of a sudden it has nothing to do with independence or states rights 🙄. It is a fact that Lincoln offered a constitutional amendment to the governors of the south to enshrine slavery as the law - the Corwin Amendment. But it was wholly rejected. The war was NOT over slavery, as the cultural marxists who have fought to erase our history would have you believe, it was about states rights and independence from an over bearing central government that was sucking the economy dry with excessive taxation, while stifling the economy by preventing the south from selling internationally. Since the producers failed to tell it honestly, I will proclaim, that many a Scots-Irish bravely carried his ancestral warrior spirit into this war for Sothern independence and fought fiercely ! We still honor them and their sacrifice and the independent spirit they stood for.
I identified the 16 images of presidents provided (not 17) as: Jackson, Polk, Buchanan, Arthur, Johnson, Grant, Harrison, Cleveland, McKinley, Wilson, Truman, Nixon, Carter, Bush, Clinton, Bush. It was produced before president Trump.

A server saved the day, by bringing troughs of liquor to the front yard. I appreciate his meaning, even in 2024. What I don't understand....is how he actually divided a nation. Scotch-Irish did not just go south.
King James 6th of Scotland was a Presbyterian before he became King of England in 1603 he sent the Scots planters to Ulster to weaken the catholic society

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the Union Irish Regiments from the Old Country recognized their old enemies the Scots-Irish who made up the Confederate armies and were more than happy to prove their loyalty to their new nation by tearing their foemen from across the seas a new one. So you could say the rivalry between North and South is also between Catholic Erin of the Northeast versus the Presbyterian Ultermen of the South?
Well they didn't bulid the roads in the UK as chariots were everywhere in UK way before Rome rewrite our reglion in 4 th so this is another one them bs gaslighting subjects involves these peoples
Codswollop, some of the most ardent Irish republicans fought on the Confederate side. All Irish are Scots Irish. The Romans called Ireland Scotia Major and Scotland was called Scotia Minor. The Scots and the Irish were all one Celtic race and they all spoke the same language. The term Scots-Irish is only a recently invented item. In 501 the Irish High King sent over his son Fergal Mor to act as the Prince of Dalriada which then fell under the High King and which eventually enlarged and became Scotland. The Stewarts were the descendants of the Irish High King.
Ive met not one American who has been taught in school that our Constitution ia modeled after the Scottish Declaration of Arbroath. Further, Ive not heard one President of which 75% have Scottish lineage, openly recognize and or praise their heritage.
Most of history in America is told from the English Mainly perspective. My grandmother told me in the 80s my people were Scotch Irish. Its not universally taught as it should be. The lights are coming on now due to the Baby Boomers and their children doing genealogy. But its growing in popularity.
I am a descendant of what you call the Scot’s Irish, from the borders , we were what you called “ robbers “ , religion was important but not as important as most historians believe, my family over the generations have been quite happy to attend what ever church was most likely to be economically advantageous for them, you have to remember that from 1740 onwards the rents in Northern Ireland were almost 3 times what they had been only 20 years before and I suspect that had more to do with the large numbers who moved to America, free land was a very strong draw.

33:50. Yes ALL Confederates fighting in the Civil War WERE fighting to preserve slavery. Irrespective of what the individual soldier thinks he is fighting for, the political and military objectives are established by your political and military commanders, hence by being a soldier in their military force you become the blunt instrument through which those objectives are pursued. This why today we have so many conscientious objectors. You can't lend yourself to a government and force whose goal is to secure an objective to which you disagree. In the case of the Scots Irish, the same rebellious fervor which saw them fight the English Anglicans and Catholic Irish in Norther Ireland and the Crown in the Americas should have instructed them wrt the wrongness of African slavery and the foolhardiness of ripping up the very nation that their fathers and grandfathers fought to create in the Revolution!
@@roguerover30k Economy going and states rights in that context meant the preservation of slavery. No one with any sense would attempt to argue otherwise. To try and deny it through argument, that is the true "lost cause."

@@roguerover30k Taking slaves from Africa has NOTHING to do with what the Confederate government so called was fighting to preserve.

The Scots -Irish is an American term , These people do not understand English Scottish Border history. The 3 Scottish Borders were neither English nor Scottish , From the 12th to 16th Centuries they fought the English further South and the Scottish further north .They built fortified towers , known as Pele Towers to keep their families and Cattle safe when they were attacked.They went on raids into England SCotland to steal back their cattle.The Scts? Irish need to read The Steel Bonnets or The Border Reivers to find out the true story off their ancestors . The area is sparsely populated even today . There have never been more than about 80,000inhabitants at any one time . Genetically the Border REivers are of Viking descent.and the Cumberland dialect is about one third Norwegian. There were about 30 main Reiving families or Clans THey mostly live in tHeir ancestral area even today , Migration paterns south west iNto England , and North into the Central lowlands can be easily followed.. The largest Border Clans were the Grahams, The Armstrons, The Nixons, the CRozers, The Bells the Johnstons . When he became King James I of England as well as King James VI of Scotland , he stopped the Border raids once and for all . The most trouble some Reiving famiies were sent to Ulster , although some of the Grahams were sent to what is now Belgium , A noted English Borderer today is Sir FErgus Graham of Netherby, north of CarliSle. People descended from Reiving families who moved from Ulster to America, include President Johnson(Johnston), the evangelist Billy Graham, Presiden Richard Nixon,and the first man on the Moon Neil Armstrong . My husband's great Uncle migrated to Liverpool, was HeadMaster at Quarrybank school and his son Graeme Nixon taught the Beetles , and frequently put John Lennon intp detention Because the Reiving Families have not moved much for over a thousand years , when we did my husband's DNA , it came out as 59% Norwegian 22% Swedish, 18% Scottish and only 1% English , even though he has lIved south of the Border all his life.
Hardly a mention of the native Irish and their resistance after the 9 years war its a miracle they survived the centuries of oppression and now have a choice of their future destiny hopefully unite with the rest of the people on this Island in EU 🇪🇺

The Scots Irish are one of the same as the Irish, the only thing that changed was their religion the peoples of Ireland and Scotland were crossing back in forth long before the Romans invaded England. The Blood of the Gaeilge people of Ireland and Scotland was part of their kingdom, not just to me the Irish and the Scots Irish are one people.

As a Scot it was very interesting and informative to lean all this its about time they are recognised what they did do and helped shape America..It is such a shame this History is not learned in our own Scottish schools i can honestly say i have learned more about my country's History after i left school which is very sad..Thank you so much for sharing this ..Love and hugs to all you Scots - Irish ...We are very much the same over here to this day. x
Agreed. Even to this day the history taught to Scots in school isn't Scottish history, it's "British". Also Ulster Scots were never even mentioned. If you say something in Scots you get scolded and told to speak "properly". Absolutely ridiculous.
Scotland has become too passive of late. Here's hoping the next referendum is the boot up the arse we need to get our act together and start taking back control.
Amen to theses Scot comments. My roots are also there, from Scotland to Northern Ireland, then to America in 1784 from Armagh, Ireland. Don’t get me riled.
Karen Our Scots history is mainly written by the English, We the Scots have brought more to the table of civilisation than any other.
history is written by the victor....yer folk sories will teach ye :)
We were taught ENGLISH history- all part of keeping Scots in their place and diminishing our role, making us 2nd best, rather than giving us an understanding of who we are and the important role Scots and Scotland played in the development of the modern world.
Proud to be of Scots Irish heritage
Beautiful documentary! Explains a lot why a lot of us are the way we are all these years later. God Bless
Can’t help thinking about Glen Campbell’s songs about West Virginia. Blue Ridge mountains Shanandoha river etc. As a Scot of settler’s descent I really enjoyed your video. Thanks. We were still used as fighters during later wars by the British army and still are. Not because we like fighting, but we are passionate for the right cause.
Very informative about a much neglected topic. Even in Ulster today most people are unaware of this history.
Yet there is good and bad in all cultures and peoples. The Celts had their bad ones too. But as a culture mainly based on the 'Honour' system , they bore less I'll will towards thier fellow man . But the high degree of personal honour was also the main cause of conflicts . They became fiercely proud.
Watch the YT video on Robert Campbell, the immigrant man whose American made wealth eventually went back to Ulster and lifted many poor Campbells up out of poverty.
"I'll give up my gun when you pry it out of my dead cold hands" truly a great statement

So proud to be Ulster Scots 🇬🇧
I got Scots-Irish in my family ancestry and history. My Scottish ancestry was from Central and Highlands of Scotland . They settled in Antrim. Interesting to find out they intermarriage with the Catholic natives. Then moved and lived in Donegal, and years later moved to Southern Ireland 🇮🇪. Finally they moved to the Appalachian Mountains of Maryland.. I thank The LORD GOD JESUS THE CHRIST for blessing my ancestry with Scots-irish Mountain Men and Women. ❤
Scots-irish to the core!!
@Repeat After Me: your right there
We are and We will be!
My fifth great-grandfather and his sons, the Kelso family, fought at Kings Mountain. He was a swordmaker. They came from Ayrshire by way of Ireland on the "Earl of Donegal". I have a book about them that describes their treatment by the British before and during the revolution, among other things. Praise God for people like these early settlers who had backbone.
If they came from Ayrshire, then they were British. Scotland, England and Wales are on the island of Great Britain, so all it's people are British. Americans don't appear to be able to get their heads around this.
@@johnfinister5011 Choose your battles and don’t drown in a puddle of water but I have lived in a Roman Catholic country. Mexico has been called more Guadalupano than Cristiano. El Salvador is, too. I believe more than ever the faith of my fathers even though I’ve never been to Scotland. When Jesus breathed his last, the veil of the temple was ripped from bottom to top, opening up our relationship with God. We no longer need any other intercessor but Jesus Christ. If Donald Trump had been proud of his mother’s ancestry, he would be POTUS still. She was a Presbyterian and that Bible, which she probably carried in a tiny suitcase when she left the hard soil and rough waters of the Scottish Hebrides, was the Bible Donald Trump held up in front of the burned church. It had been used in Awakenings or Revivals led by his elderly aunts, too crippled to leave their home but able to mentor a young pastor named Donald Smith, a cousin of Mary MacLeod.
@@johnfinister5011 "Scotland" is named after the Irish tribes (Scotti) that lived there in ancient times, so, in reality, the people there are of Irish descent. It's a bit like the people of England being of "Angle" (Danish) descent. The land of Britain has always been a melting pot.

Thank you for this.
Great series! As a Scot now living in Australia, I'm amazed at the influence some of these Ministers of Religion had. Rev. Norman McLeod (See Canada, Australia, New Zealand.) Rev. John Dunmore Lang Australia NSW Maitland.
My father always said we were scots Irish. I am 69 and want to find my ancestors so I am studying. I want to pass this down to my children and grandchildren. Because right now they don’t have a clue
I know of some Faulkners and in my family's cemetery in Middle Tennessee there are some Faulkners.
Dive into the history of it. Its well worth learning.
Outlander fan, but also history lover here. I saw the first part a while back, and have been waiting a few years to see the end of this documentary. Thanks for putting it back on the list.
I’m from Scots-Irish heritage. My family were bell founders so they were pretty nomadic throughout Ireland, Scotland and parts of England. They went where they were needed. Came to America about 1700.
What a wonderful legacy. Enjoyed both parts, as well as James Webb’s book by the same name. It’s no wonder that I served 30 years in the USMC, as my former wife remarked, it’s in my blood.
From a Ayrshire man what a illuminating film
Why wait all these 100s of years before bringing all this lovely history to the public.
The Scots-Irish were amongst the most significant contributors to the American character, mountain men who explored and opened not merely the Kentucky and Tennessee frontiers but, later, the entire west as we understand it today - the Missouri territory; the free state of Texas; the Dakota territory; and the Rockies from New Mexico to the Bitterroots of Montana. Their ferocious independence, recalcitrant insistence on personal freedom, unmitigated self-reliance, and stalwart religious faith yielded America's birthright ideology, along with the cowboy culture/avocation, country music, denim, mining, tunneling, railroad construction, and so much more. Everything hard in the young United States was taken on and then achieved by these 'roughians' who, while never serious contenders in beauty or hygiene contests, carried an incredible ethos of personal strength, both physical and ideological. Shameful that this magnificent character is today so maligned by the very government to whose establishment it so substantially contributed. As Thomas Paine eloquently declared on their behalf, "It is the duty of every Patriot to protect his country from its Government." Long live the Scots-Irish!!
Well said!
Indeed. And that 75% of our Presidents have not openly recognized or heralded their Scottish lineage
Fascinating, thanks! first read about this subject in Hackett Fischers great book.
My grandmothers family motto : Mean well, Speak well, Do well .
Sounds good to me ! 😀
I notice there's no mention of George Washington's treachery. After the Scots Irish turned the tide of the Revolutionary War, he showed his gratitude by imposing duty on their whiskey and sending in the army when they refused to pay. I suspect part of the reason so many Scots Irish joined the CSA is because they'd learnt that government from Washington was no different than rule from Westminster.
Masonic treachery.
Who are the Scots-Irish? There is no such race. The Scots live in Scotland and across the Irish sea live the Northern Irish in Northern Ireland and the Southern Irish in Southern Ireland. Separate races.
Any quick study of history shows that all governments rule in pretty much the same way.
Who are the Scots/Irish, they never existed. The Ulster/ Scots were Scots who moved from Lowland Scotland to Northern Ireland as planters. They then emigrated to North America.

Thank you for these videos, they are very interesting and Informative. I think it should be noted that the Scottish Lowlands were greatly influenced by the religious refugees from Italy and the Low Countries from about the 11th Century. The Flemish people, flooded south Scotland especially in the 15th Century. All had strong Protestant convictions which only strengthened the Covenanters in their struggles against Stuart tyranny in later years.
Their influence and sacrifice is also part of the American Story.
As a real Scots-Irish person, US Grant embodies this aura; he would get so drunk that he would fall off of his horse! Go Grant!
I get whiskey commercials now from watching this lol
A brilliant documentary I enjoyed both parts and want to thank you for posting. Narrator was good, don't know if he wrote it, but he was the perfect type to present it. My overwhelming feeling about the history is how badly these men were led into the US Civil War over an issue which was irrelevant to most of them i.e. slavery. The leaders of the south could have shifted cotton production to a wage economy as wages were not very high at the time. Added to this the estates were providing accommodation and food for their slaves/workers so wages could be even smaller. This would have kept them onside future emancipation laws. How did they think they could defeat the north with all its industrial resources, greater manpower and greater land resources? Declaring independence was a futile gesture and cost so many brave young men their lives.
This kind of talk would not have gone over well in either the pre-Civil War South or the pre-WW2 Japan.
@@mickey1849 Appreciate that brother. But that was then, this is now. Time brings perspective and I believe in fair play and plain talking. You can't fight for freedom while enslaving others and my beef is with southern leaders who misled poor homesteaders to their deaths. I judge people on the content of their heart and head not the colour of their skin. And deep down, everyone knows that's the right thing to do, anything else is just words - or xxxxxxit to put it more clearly.

Good overview. Well done.
There are some gaps in the story. There were English settlers in Ulster long before the Scots Irish.
+Tippy B Read the book, then you'd pick up on the sentence he said in this documentary that explained the English presence there first. It was the English who let the Irishman out of prison in exchange for land.
stevemcgee99 are you talking about the locking up of o,Neil Hugh Montgomery came from Scotland same as Hamilton
No there has been immigration between Scotland and Ulster from the ice age.The Anglo Irish were in Ireland before the Ulster Scot planters though your correct not all of which came from Scotland about 30% came from Northern England on the Borders and were thieves raiding bout countries known as the border Reivers the King felt a good way to deal with them was send them to ulsters
And look at the trouble it caused
@@richardrich1384 Con o Neill signed a contract which gave away his lands and inheritance to a mr Hamilton and Montgomery. They were two adventurers,whose plantation policies lead to the successful colonisation of Ulster.Con o Neill couldn't read English and thought he was signing a document proving his innocence of a crime fabricated by the two Scottish gentlemen.Con O Neill got Conned big time.His body lies in a paupers grave somewhere around Holywood,that's county Down not California. He didn't get the part.
🎉I wont be making any incendiary remarks here. As a Scot living in USA I say this....give credit where it's due. My people are the McCanns of Ulster. My Da came some say....from Spain. That is your dark Scot....Blackish hair. Like me......we fight for freedom against tyranny of all kinds, it's in our blood I guess maybe because we hail from the sea fareing folk..... perhaps even the Vikings......be proud of your blood and for Gods sake seek peace. But fight if you must.
So little I know of my family’s old history. But Dad always said (as if one long word) ScotchArishEnglishCherokeeBlackfeetTribe. I just say American. But I do wonder about those past generations & their experiences.
What impresses me is when I look back at the origins of my ancestors going back 400 years on this continent is that virtually all of them were of Ulster Scots or allied Northern English stock. I believe they all stuck together without even realising their common origin, both through an easy sense of community and because they found themselves still living in the same areas their ancestors had settled as pioneers in the wilderness.
The first thing to understand about the Scots-Irish is that they were protestants.... and why does this matter? Because their religion held that nobody stood in the 'shoes of the fisherman' (St. Peter).... no priest, prelate or Pope. On the day of judgement you would have to answer for the way you had lived your life to God and only God and the only way you could learn how you should live your life was in the Bible; so if you couldn't read what happened?... then you were in real trouble. This was the origin of Sunday schools. Sunday schools taught children to read and write on the only day of the week that they didn't have to work. In the 17th century Scotland became the first literate nation in the world, where 70% of the population could read and write.... and this at a time when the people regularly starved and died young from poverty and various foul diseases. Education became all-important in Scotland and Ulster. At a time when England, with about eight times the population of Scotland, had only two universities (Oxford and Cambridge), Scotland had four (Glasgow, Edinburgh, St. Andrews and Aberdeen). This is what gave the Scots-Irish pre-eminence in the new United States, not their 'fighting prowess'. It also led to the Scottish Enlightenment of the 18th century, which discovered the science of economics and a workable system of common law, which then enabled the industrial revolution and the creation of the modern world. In other words, the mess we're in nowadays is all the fault of the Scots-Irish, so forget all the rubbish about whisky and fighting prowess. The answer is education, education, education.
1st thing to understand about Education is that it never was Constitutionally under a national umbrella. 1A freedom of Religion Speech Press THE RIGHT TO ASSEMBLY & PETITION GOVERNMENT FOR REDRESS OF GRIEVANCES

many of these ulster scots would still have been full scots having lived in ulster only a few years or even months then migrating to the americas
Interesting & often very accurate as an Ulster born descendant of Lowlander Scottish i think the regularly used parlance of "Scotch~Irish " would be not so appreciated by the Antrim folk ,i think "Ulster scotch" would be the more common & appropriate vernacular . As a descendant of 2 executed United Irishmen during the 1797 uprising religion could play a uniting secondary role after rebellion towards the crown first ,although this wasnt always the case . Southern regiments of UI trekking North had slaughtered all & any that were nt of the Roman faith alas . My Ancestor William Orr of Faranshane was put to death outside Carrickfergus Castle for administering the United Irishmens oath to 2 men , not only did he pay but his elderly Mothers home was put to the cruel spleen . His last will & testament decreeing he was 1st an Irish born Irishman unprepared to denigrate or persecute his Irishmen of Roman faith for the crown ,still dying a faithful Presbyterian uwilling to perform the British divide et impera .On My Paternal grandmothers side McCrackens of CoDown [Blackskull] Henry Joy McCracken was put to death at the bridge of toombe , Toombesbridge today ,also hung for participating in the uprising of 97 also as United Irishmen . We ALL from Ulster would be lying if we would be so stupid to say our forefathers all singularly were from 1 religion ,thats unrealistic ,however i alas also knew good people who paid with their lives simply for being born "into "a faith ,some not even religious or church going this mattered not to sectarian tit for tat killers . Ulster [CoArmagh] has changed much since the ceasation of violence not that its completely gone , gangland thugs still causing bloodshed or the risk & danger some are prepared to risk by as i mixing with all creeds and kinds . I have played Irish traditional music most of my life and am known as the Orr who played Irish music on a silver flute [not a wooden irish flute more common in traditional music ] Even as my older brother spent over a decade behind the wire in H blocks as a "loyalist "prisoner never once was i ever challenged over or about his deeds by my friends "from the other side" had i lived permanently in Armagh [Lurgan a very bloody divided community ] ive no doubt it would most likely have cost my life not killed by my brothers enemies but more the community i grew up in ,as a frateritising "fenian lover" we Irish either Ulster Scotch or no are at our strongest when we realise & recognise we are all from - Both sides of the tweed ua-cam.com/video/tu7QkTjTdM8/v-deo.html
Wish more ulstermen thought like you not nessaraly that a United Ireland was the way to go as someone from the republic I think that's for northern Ireland to deside that all the best parts of all cultures on this island should be imbraced and everyone be excepted no matter what their faith or none.
Indeed sir
I have recently researched my family tree and still live in Northern Ireland I have found links with my family among the Scots Irish going back to Scotland and beyond. This was the time of Elizabeth the first James the 1st Cromwell Charles the 1st onwards. Firstly the Carrickfergus Co Antrim and other areas had previously been colonised by people from Britain and beyond going back to Norman times. Scots settlers were not uncommon in the early days . I suggest reading a book called The History of Carrickfergus by Miskimmin Modern copies of the book are available . It was published in the 19 th century with lots of conformation of events from accepted references.Irelands story is of massacres of the pro British and after the reformation Prodestants . Townlands in Co Antrim were attacked and burned up to the 16th century and beyond Irish chiefs such as Con ONeil were involved and it seems much as the situation in the first settlers to America. James the 1st requested clan chiefs in Scotland to settle Co Antrim especally as it was closest to Scotland. Montgomery and Hamilton were not the only ones involved. My own ancestors came over and settled near Larne. From reading family records they were under constant attack by the Irish an and Scots raiding bands that came for cattle and killed farmsteaders. As stated these were mostly Presbyterians who saw God as the head of the church not Jing James who declared himself to be head of the church.leading to persecution of those who would not accept this. Despite being attacked constantly The crown refused to send soldiers to protect them in fact one group of soldiers who did come over killed more settlers and stole cattle than the Irish. During king James 2's time a lot of the Massacres caused on the settlers wer blamed on the Covanters in various London News sheets who backed zking James against King William. The garrison of Carrick Castle was Roman Catholic having been established before seige of Derry and the Scots Irish were under persecution by them as well which caused a number to migrate to America..This story is told fully in Miskimmon. Con ONeil was jailed because he sent his servants out to buy wine and they came across soldiers guarding a cart carrying wine so killed some of the soldiers and stole the wine. On telling Con Oneill he sent them back out to kill more. The rope in the cheese is true. Instead of being locked in the castle he was given permission to walk in the town daily and only kept in his cell at night so the actual jailing was minimal. My family records show members of my family going to America and several were lost to fighting Indians also through fighting g in the Civil war. The reason the Ulster Scots were such good fighters was they had plenty of experience while they lived here.. A good telling of the story but with some gaps filled in.
I like how the theme of this series is " independence", and every war the Scots-Irish were involved in was about independence, yet when it comes to the war between the states, all of a sudden it has nothing to do with independence or states rights 🙄. It is a fact that Lincoln offered a constitutional amendment to the governors of the south to enshrine slavery as the law - the Corwin Amendment. But it was wholly rejected. The war was NOT over slavery, as the cultural marxists who have fought to erase our history would have you believe, it was about states rights and independence from an over bearing central government that was sucking the economy dry with excessive taxation, while stifling the economy by preventing the south from selling internationally. Since the producers failed to tell it honestly, I will proclaim, that many a Scots-Irish bravely carried his ancestral warrior spirit into this war for Sothern independence and fought fiercely ! We still honor them and their sacrifice and the independent spirit they stood for.
I identified the 16 images of presidents provided (not 17) as: Jackson, Polk, Buchanan, Arthur, Johnson, Grant, Harrison, Cleveland, McKinley, Wilson, Truman, Nixon, Carter, Bush, Clinton, Bush. It was produced before president Trump.
Trump has no Irish roots he’s only Scottish on his mother side
I love the concept, and I am also a great descendant of Thomas Lackey, through Martha McComb. I think you forgot to tell how Andrew, threw a wild party at the White House. A server saved the day, by bringing troughs of liquor to the front yard. I appreciate his meaning, even in 2024. What I don't understand....is how he actually divided a nation. Scotch-Irish did not just go south.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the Union Irish Regiments from the Old Country recognized their old enemies the Scots-Irish who made up the Confederate armies and were more than happy to prove their loyalty to their new nation by tearing their foemen from across the seas a new one. So you could say the rivalry between North and South is also between Catholic Erin of the Northeast versus the Presbyterian Ultermen of the South?

Codswollop, some of the most ardent Irish republicans fought on the Confederate side. All Irish are Scots Irish. The Romans called Ireland Scotia Major and Scotland was called Scotia Minor. The Scots and the Irish were all one Celtic race and they all spoke the same language. The term Scots-Irish is only a recently invented item. In 501 the Irish High King sent over his son Fergal Mor to act as the Prince of Dalriada which then fell under the High King and which eventually enlarged and became Scotland. The Stewarts were the descendants of the Irish High King.

I am a descendant of what you call the Scot’s Irish, from the borders , we were what you called “ robbers “ , religion was important but not as important as most historians believe, my family over the generations have been quite happy to attend what ever church was most likely to be economically advantageous for them, you have to remember that from 1740 onwards the rents in Northern Ireland were almost 3 times what they had been only 20 years before and I suspect that had more to do with the large numbers who moved to America, free land was a very strong draw.

33:50. Yes ALL Confederates fighting in the Civil War WERE fighting to preserve slavery. Irrespective of what the individual soldier thinks he is fighting for, the political and military objectives are established by your political and military commanders, hence by being a soldier in their military force you become the blunt instrument through which those objectives are pursued. This why today we have so many conscientious objectors. You can't lend yourself to a government and force whose goal is to secure an objective to which you disagree. In the case of the Scots Irish, the same rebellious fervor which saw them fight the English Anglicans and Catholic Irish in Norther Ireland and the Crown in the Americas should have instructed them wrt the wrongness of African slavery and the foolhardiness of ripping up the very nation that their fathers and grandfathers fought to create in the Revolution!
Most were fighting to keep their economy going and for state rights. Also btw there was slavery in the Union states.
@@roguerover30k Economy going and states rights in that context meant the preservation of slavery. No one with any sense would attempt to argue otherwise. To try and deny it through argument, that is the true "lost cause."
@@MasterWootenBetter they didn't take any slaves in from Africa. Then there would be this crime-horror show you have 24/7. Oh and remember that Lincoln was going to return them there until he was assassinated, so there's that too.
@@roguerover30k Taking slaves from Africa has NOTHING to do with what the Confederate government so called was fighting to preserve. They were fighting to preserve the enslavement of the people ALREADY ENSALVED in their states. As for what Lincoln was planning to do but never did with the blacks that's not even at all relevant.
That's what orangemen do bring devision where ever they go as far as I'm concerned their an embarrassment to both Ireland and Scotland.
The Scots -Irish is an American term , These people do not understand English Scottish Border history. The 3 Scottish Borders were neither English nor Scottish , From the 12th to 16th Centuries they fought the English further South and the Scottish further north .They built fortified towers , known as Pele Towers to keep their families and Cattle safe when they were attacked.They went on raids into England SCotland to steal back their cattle.The Scts? Irish need to read The Steel Bonnets or The Border Reivers to find out the true story off their ancestors .
The area is sparsely populated even today . There have never been more than about 80,000inhabitants at any one time . Genetically the Border REivers are of Viking descent.and the Cumberland dialect is about one third Norwegian. There were about 30 main Reiving families or Clans THey mostly live in tHeir ancestral area even today , Migration paterns south west iNto England , and North into the Central lowlands can be easily followed.. The largest Border Clans were the Grahams, The Armstrons, The Nixons, the CRozers, The Bells the Johnstons
. When he became King James I of England as well as King James VI of Scotland , he stopped the Border raids once and for all . The most trouble some Reiving famiies were sent to Ulster , although some of the Grahams were sent to what is now Belgium , A noted English Borderer today is Sir FErgus Graham of Netherby, north of CarliSle. People descended from Reiving families who moved from Ulster to America, include President Johnson(Johnston), the evangelist Billy Graham, Presiden Richard Nixon,and the first man on the Moon Neil Armstrong . My husband's great Uncle migrated to Liverpool, was HeadMaster at Quarrybank school and his son Graeme Nixon taught the Beetles , and frequently put John Lennon intp detention
Because the Reiving Families have not moved much for over a thousand years , when we did my husband's DNA , it came out as 59% Norwegian 22% Swedish, 18% Scottish and only 1% English , even though he has lIved south of the Border all his life.
I'm a catholic from county sligo and when I was younger knew Graham's from Monaghan couldn't meet sounder people.

Hardly a mention of the native Irish and their resistance after the 9 years war its a miracle they survived the centuries of oppression and now have a choice of their future destiny hopefully unite with the rest of the people on this Island in EU 🇪🇺
On the way just a few more years but infairness this thread is about the wee orangemen and their imagined superior fighting skills.
That is a very important fact and an even greater lapse in this otherwise excellent production
There is no comparison between Scot/Gael and Iberian/Irish genetically different.
Check out the travelling families in hIberiania.. no comparison.Vatican added to this too. Lawless Iberian /Irish and this is what they enjoy and promote in their country.
I like you mate for some reason you speak to my soul llf

The Scots Irish are one of the same as the Irish, the only thing that changed was their religion the peoples of Ireland and Scotland were crossing back in forth long before the Romans invaded England. The Blood of the Gaeilge people of Ireland and Scotland was part of their kingdom, not just to me the Irish and the Scots Irish are one people.
Yes but they re write our Bible completely changing it peoples of prodstants blood in UK are the common men saying it since Rome came in 1 century then in 4 they re write the Bible an created that man well anicent to this UK peoples were all from biblical peoples from the east but Rome wanted to end this why we still no who we really are as much as msm want to hide like Alex Jones what they ban is usually because it's the truth
The majority Scots were lalanders of AngIian descent and as such never spoke, gaelic!
I'm not sure that's necessarily true.
Better tell that to the unionists in norn iron.
Your either Scottish or Irish, you might have parents from either side but cannot be what you say unless you're an American
As an Ulsterman of 70 years .. Not convinced.

" this is my land and I will fight those Indians to keep it".....wrong....it was the natives land.
Andrew Jackson was of English descent.
"Scotti" is what the Romans called the Irish. When some Irish tribes went over to northern Britain, the land became known as "Scot-land"...Land of the Irish! If you're "Scots Irish" you're 100% Irish-Irish!
Scotti was the sister to the king of egyptians blood left there fleeing .landed in Ireland north then pretty much went straight to Scotland these guys practise the hidden reglion gnosticism as they fleed middle East due to radicals wanting to controls there version an to change it from god's In man to pope version reason reglioius freedom was vital to these peoples said to be the Pelagians who also ended slavery like Saxons buring Rome down we was not slavery owner we were the opposite the freedom givers reasons Scots English Wales could all adopt the same ethos these short stock black hair spainish restarted Rome back up at one point so always dislike these brothonic peoples BC there historys same goes for others who wanted slavery same in future in 1820 when Spain done the same lmao instead of industrial revolution they like this slavery like loads of others who there friends with also templars had a book called kolbrin basically teaches this an thats what mason follows too this is gnostic Rome wanted to ban it an burnt gastanbury down buring the great book was this others works involved nagi Madi text could be what ever it was templars hide it because percurstion these were also druids but while paddy converted them all an forgot we had a wall built between tribes like briganties who also in lreland an Wales god's own country of yorkshire to stop all coming together

True to some extent all Scottish names with mc are decendent from Irish who migrated to Scotland probably first to dalraitta and then further to as far as north Cumbria

Propaganda history and leaning in a wrong way.
+finalfrontier001 I know! He is misconstruing history and ideals to give himself a kind of political self-promotion, to the point of completely skewing the historical events in order to instill his view and opinion. I am a descendant of Border Reivers, and heavily Scottish/Irish on many branches of my family tree and even I am not blinded by his propaganda.
+Frejda Volsung it doesnt sound right ..they didnt fight the romans ..they speak a germanic dialect ..nacht ..ken .not gaels ..they probably came after ..lang strang ..they pick up german easy they already have a platte deutch accent ...they are tough hardy people ..met a few of them ...
You can Donald Trump to that presidents list!
Trump is German on his father's side and Highland Scots on his mother's, not a trace of Ulster!
Nae such thing as Scots Irish.
Some came fae Ireland tae Scotland.
1st generation may say Scots Irish, your 100%Scottish after that

Hail Hail 1888
Needs to lose a little weight.
Behind a Scot/Irish is a will to be there own people and not bend the knee to anyone the royalist found that out long live the Scot/irish
