Within the seventeenth century, thousands of lowland Scots crossed the channel to the northern a part of Ireland to take part in a colonization effort established by James I. Many years later, political and economic events inspired the descendants of these sturdy adventurers to depart for yet any other shore. Except for for the English, the Scotch-Irish constituted the largest group of immigrants to eighteenth century The usa.
The story of the Scotch-Irish in The usa begins long before James I’s settlers set foot on Irish shores. Creator Ron Chepesiuk traces the history from the British Isles’ early Christian period to the time, hundreds of years later, when a lot of American presidents would proudly trace their lineage to Scotch-Irish immigrants.
Along the best way Chepesiuk discusses the life of lowland Scots in Ireland, their reasons for emigration to The usa, their movement westward across their new land, and life at the colonial frontier. An appendix features sites of Scotch-Irish interest Within the north of Ireland.
