The strangers( British) didn’t come down from Rocky Top (King’s Mountain) reckon they never will!🎼🎶🎵🎤🪕🎸🎻🥁 I still say there should be a tomahawk emoji.

Americans love identity politics based on invented identities. Scots-Irish means almost nothing. The Scots and all people of the British Isles being very non-uniform in ancestry. For example, ancient Britons (maybe from Switzerland/ France and maybe further afield), Bretons, various Celts, Picts, Romans, Southern Scandinavians (Jutes/Angles), northern Dutch, Lower Saxons, Northern Scandinavians, Normans, Huguenot, etc. Most diverse is probably old Northumbria / Danelaw which covers a lot of what is today England and Scotland. This made up also the protestant / Reformation part of Britain. However, Ireland (Eire) also had many influences from similar sources. Perhaps, the least diverse of Britain were traditionally some areas of Cornwall, Highlands, various Islands of the coast and parts of Wales. Now, of course, Britain and Ireland are being invaded by many other new types. Most of which never were in the genetic make-up before. However, one interesting thing is the Scots (one cultish tribe) came from Ireland once - but they are only one part of what genetically makes up ‘Scot’land traditionally. Probably a minority element - subjext to area of modern Scotland. In the same way, ‘Eng’land was probably only minority Angle in specific ancestry. In fact, England was traditionally mainly ancient Briton, Celt and later Romano-British (Celt) before Angles even knew it existed - just like Ireland was before the Scandinavians, Normans, English, Ulster Scots, Welsh etc arrived.

One of the best documented storylines I was privileged to hear..Thank you all

All of a sudden the people knew they were Zerahites from the Royal Tribe of Judah, the corruption from man made religion and political division has caused so much pain. Until today….

"For too long the fabric of American history which is interwoven with that of Ireland has been coloured Green when...the colour of America's Indepence should be Orange as much as Red, White and Blue. ... With the help of certain prominent political [RC] Irish-American families, Southern Ireland has received more favourable propaganda than is warranted, to say nothing of contraband weapons for the IRA... To which Ireland, America owes her gratitude has been perverted. Equity has fallen in America's streets when she bestows praise and aid on terrorists while ignoring her profound debt to Northern Ireland. The pro-Roman Catholic, pro-"Irish"[RC] press notwithstanding, Orangemen of Northern Ireland were America's truest friends in the Revolution and her truest friends today." Bob Jones, Chancellor BJU, South Carolina, 1976

Mcewan. Made gunpowder for the brittish army. During the napoleon war.

This utter obsession about everything one wanting to be Scots or a bit of a Scot is formed on the nauseating anvil of Brigadoon and all the heather and badpipe drivel that is drip fed into you since the day you draw breath up here.The reality of living in Scotland in the modern age has nothing to do with this.The lowland Scots are Anglo Saxon,same stock as Northern England.

The plantation Ulster Scots are predominantly from Protestant Anglo Saxon stock they are a different people to indigenous Celtic Irish

It's all myth and legend,I have lived all my life in Scotland for 64 years.Wallace was betrayed by his own people

I'm a Ayrshire Scot with Ulster on both sides of the family Kilpatricks dads side left Ayrshire for Ulster one ancestor came back Blacksmith about 7 or 8 genarations back same with Mcbrides on mums side one came back was a bigamist married woman in every place making his way up the coast from Stranraer to the coalmines of Ayrshire and Lanarkshire hahaha

Hame,not Hiame….

I’m a hybred……80% Brit. With a Scottish side half from Ulster and half from Aberdeen. The Aberdeen side descends from the Gordon’s of Gight.

Good narrative, but the depiction of the British soldiers is misleading. Almost all of the British were Loyalists and did not wear uniforms.

Whiskey is Scotch but people from Scotland are ‘Scots’. There’s a difference.

They don't care for us Scot-Irish unless there is a war to fight.

Glesga masel Calum.

get absolutley fuckin rekt buddy. I'm from here and nobody ever told me it was just hillbillies.

My family left Ulster in the 1740s. They went through Pennsylvania, Virginia, Georgia, and finally settled in Alabama in 1860. They fought in the Revolution at Kings Mountain. Generally they were religious and peaceful people, and refused to take sides in our Civil War. Yours is a wonderful song.

Berlin Airlift. Uncle Bill, a flying sergeant, co-pilot in a C-47. Dad was WWII in the medical corps, USAAF in the US. Later, for decades, in a clandestine group training and leading native guerilla troops, mostly in Laos. The Hmong told me stories about him when I translated for them. Four of my children went into the U. S. Marines. Did time in Iraq and/or Afghanistan.

Arlington National Cemetery is a good place for my parents to rest.

Too many "isms". Thats the problem

He should have never said anything about God in his pathetic endeavor limiting God , godless heathen God has no limitations.

"Call this war by whatever name you may, only call it not an American rebellion; it is nothing more or less than a Scotch-Irish [Ulster-Scots] Presbyterian rebellion." 1778, Johann Heindrick, Hessian officer with the British forces.

Yeah yall ain’t Irish, sorry!

They where dirt the Irish where the best true Irish

Those planters who went to Scotland where .ore englis planted y generations the 8th they here there for 2 hundred years outnumbered y the Scots got their language wore their kilts but had no Scotland objections then roswell got more to ulster the same breed english so they interbreed into catholics but never where their connections with the Irish the Scots fought for english in Canada whilst other Irish wanted a independent Canada from brutish. James was a traitor planting anguish saxon Scots never Irish as native Irish hated the planters

Scotch is a drink. They are the Scots-Irish.

Not Scotch! Thats a type of whiskey. They are Scots as in Scotsmen. Please.

They were called Scotch Irish. No hyphen, and no Scots. Scots is a noun. Scotch was an adjective, the archaic spelling of Scottish. So with modern spelling they are Scottish Irish, not Scots-Irish.

My Ross ancestor came to America from Ireland during the potato famine. Settled in pennsylvania, worked in the coal mines. Married a Scottish lady from clan MacLean. After some traveling they finally settled in Texas and then in Oklahoma. I’m very proud of my heritage.

Poor Ireland and its Native People Suffered indeed .

given the choice between going to the NC shore, or the mountains, I'd usually choose to go to the mountains.

Ireland now being invaded by illegal immigrants. A sad future for all Irish.

Beautiful that is.

Important and stirring history but it’s hard to ignore the blaring inaccuracy. Ferguson was the only British there. The rest of the soldiers were loyalist militia. It dosnt completely change the story but seems a very relevant thing to get wrong.

I love the consistently overweight and squeaky clean reenactors from historic battles.

Wonderful information!

I 😂 got involved with one of those ancestry sites a afta finding m🧬🧬🤷‍♂️🌹🇺🇸🩸🙉🦍🙈🐒🐵turns to havealotof SCOTTISH ❤

Well I’m off both heritage and my mum and dad where from Derry/Londonderry

Feck Yeah!!!

I miss the days when Silver Dollar City aka Dollywood played these tunes.

Often times Americans get grief when they still value these roots. It’s like a shut up and just be an American mindset. You’re not really Scottish. You’re not really Irish or whatever the case is but in actuality that’s what made the country is immigrants so why did people want us to forget our history?

The Brics union (BRITS UNION) look like nothing more then the restored British empire. This is why England most likely left the European Union as they have this secret alternative they have been working on in the dark. Allot of the member countries are "former" English Colonies. I do believe this union will crystallize as such once British operatives loyal to the crown weed out outliers and useful misguided individuals. Monarchs that fled eastern Europe and other places during WW2 were permitted in the UK but it looks like the caveat was that they may have to work now for the benefit of the British Empire?

Where do you get this Scots Irish from? My sons Grand Parents on his mothers side are from Jamaica, my father and his parents are from Dublin, i am born in England so 200 years from now does anyone from my sons blood line claim they are Jamaican English or Jamaican Irish ? it sounds ridiculous , shall the English call themselves Scandanavian English due to the Viking invasion ?

Great documentary, and so true, from the church styles to the jigs and reels. At the same time some of the Norwegian styles like Hardanger fiddle for example played into some of the Scottish music. The English, who were obviously early immigrants to American as well shared similar music traditions. Thanks for the video.

Scot’s Irish = people from lowland Scotland and northern England. Scottish and English people Settled in Ireland which gives them their name (ignoring the English element)
