LOL Most Americans are mixed, mongrels, mutts-- whatever you want to call it. I have English, Welsh and Scots-Irish ancestry that were in this country going back to Revolutionary times. But I also have Slavic roots (Polish and Russian) that came through Ellis Island in the early 20th Cent. And now we have Latin American and Asian "ingredients" being added to the pot.
@blanchelincoln True. Most Caucasians in America are mixed with different European ancestries. My dad is Scottish (including Scotch-Irish), English and German with touch of Swiss.
Yanks pretending to be Irish rather than Americans and not celebrating being a Yank. That's because Scots and English immigrants who arrived centuries ago to the Americas are the real Americans, they call themselves Americans, whereas the papist Irish arrived later [cap in hand] and always refer to temselves as Irish Americans - just like all other papist immigrants to America.
That's why you never hear of English Americans, German Americans, Swedish Americans etc.
Plus I don't like Yank accents and personalities, I wouldn't want their Yank foreigner ways influencing and changing Europe, India and Scandinavian territories, they are their own people now.
A lot of shit here.firstly there were no political entities like Ireland,scotland or england 1000 years ago,a wandering tribe migrated across europe and settled france, england, scotland, and ireland in turn.Our current allegiances/identities were formed by the socio ,economic and political environment of the past 400-500 years.So the irish are'nt scots, no more than the scots are enlish and so on.
Lol not really, new evidence challenges our pre conceived ideas and beliefs, looks like everything is up in the air and our political,social,and religious conditions are more important than our dna.
my family is mcfarland or mcfarlain there origin is from scotish highlands does that make me ulster scot.? thanks they came to americia long before the revolution.
@thecrusades2 So your saying a small Celtic elite sailed from central europe many thousands of years ago and spread there culture around the British isles and all this without leaving any significant genetice trace.... Wow, they truly are magical Celts!
@thecrusades2 I agree on what you said there except with the Scots being the same as English etc, we all have our own nationality which means origins, anthems, flags, identity and history.
But I agree with your point on the Celts, it's those plastic paddie Yanks who spread that fairytale around like a cancer, they're not aware the word "Celt" is a made up lose term from the 1800's to group all the non-Germanic tribes together as one, the "Celts" aren't even native, they came in 800BC ~500BC.
@thecrusades2 Well all I know is that the Scots, Irish, and Welsh are direct descendants of Adam. Christ knows were the F'n english came from! but it best they go back ;-)
Wow...Fucking WOW...it astounds me how little you actually know about history...let me enlighten you...the small amout of Scottish people who decided to conquer and populate NI, and subsequently where British impearialists...to the bone...to the bone....Scottish people are your friends...but these ulster Scots are not...please learn your history....
@deckieboo the kkk were disgusting i agree, but they just happened to be the first permanent european settlers and in power when the other immigrants cvame. Its the same in every country when immigrants come to it. In other countris in the 1800s they would never have let any immigrants in - only in the US were thye decent enough to allow them in. ALL the World War 2 dictators were CATHOLICS - Hitler, Mussolini, Franco. Nazism started in Bavaria - the catholic part of Germany.
ohno2112 is quite obviously from an irish catholic background so likes to portray the scots-irish as hating the british, but of course 'british' means scots,welsh and english. Yes, they hated the brits back home just like the rest of the american revolutionaries did at that time. Remember that the revolutionaries were themselves british! As ohno2112 knows, the one million scots-irish who are still in northern ireland today are extremely pro-British and pro-american.
Why do you still refer to your selves as Scot Irish , The Scottish want nothing to do with you and the Native Irish Gaels hate you . You think your superior and we are inferior yet you use our name ?
In fact the irish republic's president of the time, Eamonn De Valera, didn't even send condolences to the US embassy in ireland on hearing of the death of Roosevelt, but instead sent his sympathies to the german embassy on hearing of the death of his fellow roman catholic - adolf hitler!
The catholic Irish Republic (southern ireland) chose to stay neutral in world war two to the point where the US were going to invade as they were a security risk to the UK. Thankfully the protestant northern ireland (as part of the UK) welcomed 100,000 US troops and they stayed in NI for a year to be trained before D-Day.
@Omoore1979, Thanks! Now I understand why LBJ disliked the Kennedys. Boy, I guess? The Troubles (Protestants vs Catholics) arrived in the USA for quite a long time. As well as other former UK colonies like Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.
@meximike1989 they are protestant lowland scots and english descent. They came from scotland to ireland and then on to america. They are the same people as today's pro-UK Unionist community in N Ireland. They are generally pro-UK and pro-US. The irish-irish catholics in ireland are generally anti-UK and anti-USA. The IRA has strong ties to anti-american organisations such as islmaic terrorist PLO and communist FARC.
this idiot american said northern ireland(ulster) when cavan, monaghan and donegal are in the republic lol you stupid bastard im from cavan and I hate when idiots mix ulster and northern ireland up oh and your ancestors are british not fucking nothern irish cause english and scotish planters came over during the ulster plantation and that is why northern ireland was created so theres no such thing as northern irish ancestry and how about readig a history book ya bolex jesus americans piss me off
@Stevenbfg I hope not this american. You are correct, Sir. The lowland Scots came at the behest of the english. Together they cleared, to some degree, the best lands of ulster. That is to say they cleared it of native irish catholics. There are people (catholic) who know where their families' land is and who's got it.
What weirdo wants to be irish. Whats irish about St patrick, he was a welsh guy who was kidnapped by irish raders, patrick escaped from them seen northern irish still going about in blue paint, went back to Wales became a priest went to Ulster said to the king of Newry " become christian" king said "ok". Then patrick died in downpatrick obviously the place in named after him. So what has he to do with Rep.of ireland.So stop talking crap dont talk about things you know nothing about.
How could they have murdered your ancestors, sorry to point it out to you but you wouldnt be on this planet if that were true (gimp). There is no difference between anyone from the british isles we've all been moving all over the place and jumping about with eachother for thousands of years so NO difference thats why we have a United Kingdom apart from Rep.of ireland but thats only because their catholic.
The Scots (Scotti) by origin were Gaelic speaking people from Ireland they shared the same language and culture as the Irish. The English Government used mainly lowland Scots against the Highland Scots to try and destroy this Gaelic Heritage
The lowland Scots were used by the English during the plantation of Ulster. The Highland Scots and Irish often fought against the English. The Highland Scots are more conscious of their shared Gaelic Heritage with the Irish.
Ulster is one of the 4 Ancient Provinces of Ireland
The Scots (Scotti) by origin were Gaelic speaking people from Ireland who Conquered N Britain thus giving their name to Scotland
Most Presbyterians from Ulster and Scotland that emmigrated to America did so because they were Persecuted by the English government they had experienced the land clearances and the anti Presbyterian aspects of the Penal laws
Prebyterians in Ulster were at the forefront of the United Irishmen movement
Was Lyndon B. Johnson? Ulster Scots/Irish? Just saw the USA in WW-1 doc. I didn't know? Irish Catholics were strongly against US Pres Wilson's involvement to help UK in WW-1. Since Wilson was Irish Protestant to help out his heritage people. Surprised? No Irish Catholics didn't planned a pipe bomb in the White House to assassinate him? Also, I understand why the Kennedys disliked Nixon b/c he was Ulster Scots/Irish. Boy? I guess? The TROUBLES were in the USA for a very long time.
@deckieboo The caption said something like "well-known americans" and so one person who was a klansman is named and you have an excuse to hate Americans of Ulster descent and call us all racists? relax. please.
Whites are made to feel guilty for being "Proud to be white' in modern culture. And as our continent is being flooded more and more with new immigrants, we are becoming minorities in our own cities. Other groups have a right to be here too, but, as a white person is it wrong for me to say "I prefer to be around other whites?". If I were jewish, black, or chinese and said the the same it would be fine. Other races have a different culture, do I have to like their values because its P.C.?
Ulster is one of the Four Ancient Provinces of Ireland
The Scots by origin are Gaelic speaking people from Ireland who conquered N Britain thus giving their name to Scotland
In 1746 the English Parliament at Westminster invoked the Act of Proscription that banned the wearing of tartan forbade the speaking of Gaelic, outlawed Scottish music, dancing or the playing of Bagpipes. The Lowland Scots helped the English in this persecution of their fellow Scots the Highlanders
Most people of Scots-Irish decent no longer identify themselves as such because they've been in America for such a long time. Same thing for a lot of English-Americans; they simply think of themselves as American, whereas people descended from the Irish/Italian/Polish etc. (groups that came over post-1850) usually still identify with their ancestor's ethnicity. Another problem is the census only lets you put down one ethnicity despite the fact that most people are probably a couple.
At 2:18 you misspelled "Northern." There are a lot more than these. The first name of the Declaration of Independence was "The Dunlap Broadside" because an immigrant from Ulster named Dunlap printed it. He was also one of the main printers for the Continental Congress. there are so many from there an descended from there, I wouldn't even begin to list them. Also, didn't like song. To bland.
As an American Born UK Mutt of English, Irish & Scottish blood this video makes me proud... I pray that God bless the old country and protect it from invaders and traitors alike today like never before!
The scots (scotti ) by origin were gaelic speaking people from Ireland who conquered N Britain thus giving their name to Scotland so the culture and music is similar and scottish Gaelic is an offshoot of Irish Gaelic. Many of Irish and Scottish origin would have fought with the US Republican Patriots when the British and British loyalists Surrendered at YorkTown.
The British were made up of Irish Scottish welsh and English, Republican Patriots were made up of predominantly English, scottish welsh and Irish, Brits fighting Brits, George Washington was English, as was most of the leaders
18th 19th c Revivalist (inventist) stuff about as Gaelic as the pipes, Irish, Scottish, welsh and English "the Brits" fought on both sides i.e. it was Brits fighting Brits, why do you omit the English? George Washington's family came from England.
Which accent would that be? the "whey a mon" of Newcastle (geordies) the nasal twang of Liverpool (Scouse) the slow drawl of the midlands and the Black country "yaam alwright our kid" (Brummies) or how about the chirpy cockney sparrow,
Religon has nothing to do with it!!! All it is is the british Government stuck in the days of the Empire!!! & 75% of Northern Irish want NI to just be IRISH!!!Same gose for the other celtic nations!!! So don't spout off shyte thats not true!!!
sorry catholicrik but your either mad or telling lies? you have obviously ignored the vast MAJORITY of voters and sided with Irish republician voters. Despite minority opinion WE'RE STILL BRITISH. And the MAJORITY of us LOVE it ;-)
That I know is a lie & I have friends friends of friends & family who would agree!! Brittish?? you may be but don't imply that ppl who don't even know you love being British!! You can't possably speack for all of them nor are you right!!! Now whos tellin lies?? & how long did it take you to come up with a reply to ma last message?? Just drop it your wasting my time nor are you worth it!!
Ulster IS Ireland, & your sayin ONLY this Province of Ireland impacted America?? No your takein credit that belongs to the whole Island & sayin it's just for Ulster!!! A house divided can NOT stand, & that applise to Ireland. If Ulster Lenster Munster & Connought can't live together as one nation then it WILL fall & be subjected to the crown of the so called "United Kingdom"!!!
Staunch Protestants will not merge with a catholic nation, this is why the ulster scots want to remain British. This is also the same reason why the Irish do not want Ireland to join with the United Kingdom.
Learn a little history before you get righteously indignant. The pattern of Ulster-Scots settlement and that of the predominantly catholic south were very different both geographically and temporally. The Scots-Irish settled in the frontier durning the 17th century in large numbers, where as large numbers of Irish catholics did not come to America until the early and mid 18th century. Both groups have had a significant impact on the Unites States, they are just simply different ones.
I do know history! Ulster is Irish your sayin thet because of the English border you have diferent heriteg? The turm Ulster Scot is a historic turm meaning the Irish from Antrum went to Scotland Scots are Irish whin you think on it! the only difference is the water inbetween face it Ulster is the 4 province of Ireland its full of Irish now your goin to point out the differences between the 2 eh? The only diferinces are because they were there own contries once the 4 natins cant see this is FALS!
No, the term Ulster Scot denotes the Scottish and to a lesser extent English and Welsh settlers planted there in the 17th century and who settled on their own prior to the plantations. While it is true there was an Irish Kingdom in western Scotland called Dal Raida, the two populations are quite distinct in culture, so I defy to to tell a Scotsman that he is actually Irish. As for the rest of what you said I honestly can't muddle through it, between misspellings and an utter lack of logic.
Dont turn this into insolts ya gimp! the turm may have come from that but dose it actualy give the Scots in Ireland a right to be its own contry? No the Irish were there frist! I wouldnt tell a scot that becouse most scots still have pictish blood in them! so are these ppl you speack of separet from the Scots too? No Ulster scots are Scots! Fact is your pointing out Scottish history you said Ulster scots is a turm pointing out where some scots went! You cant even pull up a simple argument? sad
You know what? I'm done with this. I'm done trying to make a point to someone who is so stupid that they contradict their own previous statements: "The turm Ulster Scot is a historic turm meaning the Irish from Antrum went to Scotland Scots are Irish whin you think on it" and "No the Irish were there frist! I wouldnt tell a scot that becouse most scots still have pictish blood in them! so are these ppl you speack of separet from the Scots too? No Ulster scots are Scots!"
Oh don't stop now your gittin to the best part. maybe I had for goten what the turm actualy means at frist, but that dosn't mean I was contradicting my self like you were! The main difference between the two is the Pictish blood, thats what that meant! The rest is true & you know it! They're scttish in Ireland, nothing more! Thats the truth, so you can stay arragent & say some thing complerly retartid or you can just drop it, either way I've won! Look agen closely & you'll understand!
I agree if catholic Americans who have ties that are 200 years old and think of themselves as Irish-American then why not let the Ulster Scots think their scots as such. With only 15 miles of water between Ulster and Scotland the ties are strong both historically and in the present.
Before both nations existed their was always the traffic of people to both islands.
Primarily English, Scots, Ulster English & Ulster Scots, French Huguenots, and some German Protestants populated the Southern British American Colonies and later US.
Irish Papists have as much have as much Scandinavian, Norman French, and Saxon blood in them as every other part of Britain. Cromwell's soldiers got around! ;) The mixing of Celtic & Saxon blood started long before the British Isles were inhabited....there are no pure Nazi ethnicities. We are all descendants of Adam & Eve, and are related to one another.
The Irish Catholics wouldn't have fled to this great nation if the British hadn't defiled the teachings of Jesus and starved the native Irish off their land. They also persecuted the Ulster Scots Presbyterians, hence their migration to this country. The teachings of the Bible were hijacked and perverted for political gain at the expense of God's children.
"Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him."
Northern English Settlers, like Southern Scots, immigrated to Ulster as Protestants: Ulster English & Ulster Scots shared their culture & intermarried, as they had done for hundreds of years previously in their previous venues. There is plenty of English blood in southern Scotland, and plenty of Scots blood in northern England, & surnames follow this historic pattern. Jackson & Johnson are both southern Scots names, which can also be English.
Ethnic mixing has always been global, near borders.
Billy the Kid was Irish Catholic. Real name Henry McCarty (aka William Bonny). 25% of immigrants from Ireland in the 1700s were Irish Catholics. Many in the South became Protestant due to lack of Catholic churches. Check out Baptist graveyards in the Appalachians/South and you'll see many Irish Celtic names. Gone but not forgotten.
Papists converted to Protestantism begining with the Reformation -- because of the Word of God, and the spiritual & civil freedom that America offered enhanced those conversions. Popery didn't actually begin to grow in America until the 1840's, when the Famine Irish began arriving....followed by Southern & Eastern European immigrants later in the 19th century.
Yes the majority of Ulster planters were of lowland Scots & Northern English protestant decent. Jackson & Johnson are Northern English & Lowland Scots Protestant names. You can also find Welsh & Dutch names in Ulster..
The Scots/Irish were (for the most part) Protestant and not from the Republic of Ireland, which is predominately Catholic. Those of Ulster are protestant and have differing religious beliefs, and that is why there is the fight amoungst them today.
Protestant Northern Ireland populated by the majority Scotmen...many migrated to Holland, where one half of that country speak a Germanic language and the other half French...who about the same time also migrated to America, thus the Huguenots...Still of Scots/irish descent.
The term Hillbilly came from King William. King Wm.of Northern Ireland, also conquered many parts of Holland.
The Scots/Irish also migrated there, and many later migrated to America. Many French names came from there to America. King Wm.and his followers i.e. Hill Billies, and just as in Scotland has a quite hilly and mountainous terrain. Many migrated heavily down the Appalachian line. Surprisingly, just as in N.Ireland today this area is prejudiced by other parts of the U.K.
From what I understand, when England conquered Northern Ireland (consisting of 6 to 9 counties) The lowland Scots were encouraged to cross into Northern Ireland,when the plantations were set up there (not like Southern plantations but one crop plantations.) The Scots found they could not prosper any better there, so they migrated heavily to America. When the transplanted Scots from N.Ireland got off the ships "These people don't speak Irish!" "Why thier Scots!" Thus the term. Scots/Irish
Cite your source please. I know some Huguenots ended up starting linen mills in Ulster, but I believe their numbers were small compared "borderland" Scottish imported as tenant farmers in the time of James the First of England. I believe it was more like 100 years when expired leases and resultant raised rents drove this folks to the then 13 British colonies in America. 100 years to inter-marry and assimilate some Irish way - hense the mix and moniker "Scotch-Irish".
Okay I am sorry but I think it is a personal thing. ONE chooses to be racist. It isn't something you are born with or something that gets embedded and are so dumb that by 18 you can't shake it. JMHO
is it just me or ulster-scots are incredibly racist i even studied that most of the KKK members and supporters were ulster-scots if u go to scotland,northern ireland or the south of the US where most of them live thats pretty tangible(no offence just asking)
democrat4lyf: it quite depends on what your frame of reference is for applying the term 'incredibly racist'. First let's ask, is there anything so bad as to the love/preserve of ones' racial family and protest against 'INTERFERENCE' of a way of life (succinct); it may be a hardcore kinship that an Italian (I assume) such as yourself cannot understand, culturally;and set against a different backdrop of political history. Maybe Italy will have its 'KKK' one day-we just can't tell in all fairness.
Yes the Democratic Ideals the Founding Fathers based our constitution on werent influenced by classic Greek and Roman Democracy and ideas from The Age of Enlightenment on the matter no, they were cribbed from Scotch-Irish immigrants, give me a break! Again, settling the western frontier, battling the Brits in The American Revolution (thought truth be told the French tipped the balance) and supplying military man power since kudos to the Scotch-Irish. But to say they made America, exaggeration!
FYI not to be cranky but the "Red Hand" symbolism has never been adopted by the Scotch-Irish community in America. Also we may have internalized the concept of "No Surrender" in serving in great numbers in the military (American, Confederate (boo!) and State Militias) however the phrase never was adopted among us.
Reason I say this some pro Loyalists in the US and/or NI try to tie Americans with ancestory to Protestant Ulster to these symbols and to their cause, which we dont embrace.
Scot? Me? Scotch-Irish! And there's a difference. Those who came from Ulster originally considered their ancestory Irish, it wasnt until the second half of the 19th century when so many Catholics came from all of Ireland, that the differentiation was made. Though in places like Mississippi with many of ancestory from Ulster and not many Catholics around, some Scotch-Irish dont bother with the distinction, and still use just Irish. Nothing meant against Scots, we just aint them!
VanDoodah I'm with you, when someone shows me verifiable proof of a supreme being I'll sign up. I had a neighbor once, college girl but she got mainly Cs on her exams (nice kid but not the brightest) she always got bummed when her "witnessing" for Christ fell on deaf ears. She couldnt understand why what she was told as a child and believed so to be true, other people didnt get it (to her).
The most influential Founding Fathers of the US traced their roots to England, not Ireland. Although what I still call Scotch-Irish served in significant numbers battling Native Americans and of course The British in The American War for Independence; becareful and dont be like some who go overboard in giving them credit in making the USA what it became and is. They contributed, but so did many other people/groups. And I'm of Scotch-Irish ancestry myself!
No, we are born atheists. "A" is a Greek prefix meaning "absence of". We are born with no concept of God, and that is a fact you cannot deny. Religion, like most things, is something we are taught.
"The unbeliever needs to also show they they are unbelieving."
Then prove to me that the Flying Spaghetti Monster doesn't exist. Why don't you worship Him instead?
Your lack of basic knowledge when it comes to philosophy is underring to say the very least.
Nonsense. Do you understand basic science and philosophy?
If one asserts that God is the creator, then one must provide ample evidence to prove their hypotheses. If I was to claim that the Greek gods and godesses are real, then I would have to prove it, not wait for someone else to try and disprove ir.
Us Senator John McCain is an Ulster/Scot his people are indeed from Ulster, from County Antrim, Northern Ireland. They left from Coleraine town circa 1719 and appear on the border of the Pennsylvania and Maryland Colony in the early 1720s. His immigrant ancestor was named Alexander McKean. Hope this helped.
I'm not a bit Scots-Irish, but these folks were the settlers of the frontier, the backbone of Washington's Continental Army, and have always been the first to shed their blood for America's freedom. They're often maligned, unappreciated, and unsung-but there'd be no USA without them. My roots are ethnic Irish, but if I am ever in a foxhole and things look desparate, I want one of these fine people on my right & on my left shoulder: we'll go out, if need be, fighting as free men.
Hi BenAligtor, I'm full Irish to, but weather your roots are from the Northern Ireland or the North of Ireland/Ulster(Scot-Irish), or The South of Ireland (Irish repbublic or Free State), we are all Irish brothers one and all and need to stand together. Just thought I'd do a vid for the Scot-Irish, my next well be for the Southern Irish.
Its commendable that davy has done this video, I'm a Gael and a Scot myself. I agree you are all Irish brothers and we Scots, Irish, Scots-Irish and Ulster Scots are Gaels and the same people as well. Linked by a common history and heritage. The video was top marks.
There is no question (to me) as an American who now lives in the heart of where the Ulster Scots settled first, the Ulster Scots culture influenced America (rural America especially) more than any other group. In actuality, most American Presidents have Ulster Scots Ancestry (not mentioned with Reagan and both Bush Presidents) (both Obama and McCain do too).
While most (about 2/3) of my ancestors were Irish Catholics, I am also very, very proud of my (1/5 or so) Ulster Scots heritage.
i believe there are more scots-irish in america than there are irish catholics, apparently there are around 27 million scots-irish decendants in america but they have forgotten their true identity and in their cencus wrote down scottish or irish.
Would your great great grandfathers the first settlers have said the same??EHH NO,you turncoat,just as your "kinsmen" did after the the Jacobite rebellion became englishmen and your beloved scots in america fell into line with the Union.REAL FACT boy
NO Béal Feirste ranger you are wrong again the Normans were'nt catholic they were Christian the Reformation had'nt started yet you narrow minded fool more proof of your Sectarian upbringing.And for the record the first "english invasion was led by Welsh-born French speaking Normans from the Welsh marches who were surely not in favor of Henry the 2nd,and in time became "more Irish than the Irish themselves "just like you are changing,the way you now call yourself "Irish and British"
Béal Feirste ranger (COWARD EXPOSED).Do you really think im going away?,you post comments about everyone else about how you cant post comments on there page when you have done exactly the same-no surrender-just run away,you say you are Unionist not loyalist when on the 12th you go out and celebrate with the sectarian murdering thugs,Nice new lay out in some of your comments just keep following my lead.;)
and 40 percent of Northern Ireland are Irish nationalist. Making all of Ulster a large majority Irish Nationalist. You do realise your sweet British nation is being shared by Sinn Féin? lol the union is falling apart son.
Dont mind wee Branger he makes false statements then blocks people like the COWARD he is,Ireland was United in 1002 under Brian Boru even though some few eastern Leinster sub-kingdoms resisted,the most influential family in Ireland up to that point -the Uí Néills recognised him as High-King so hes just sniffing @balls,once again.
The English crown NEVER held sway in Ireland Until the 16th Century onwards! Anglo Normans Held tiyn plots of Land on and off, but it was only with the Plantations that Ireland really fell under English Control. See your Messages Also.
The video also dosen't mention the many, many places in America that have Northern Irish names such as ,Belfast, West belfast, 6 or 7 bangors and many more!
St Patrick was welsh, Not British. Britain as State did not exist at his time.And I Couldent care less even if he was English. So what? Hes still our patron saint. Why even bring this up??
Yes 6 Countys of Ulster are British occupied. But Ulster is not. Why do you people Refer to yourselfs as Ulster men? When you are So loyal To Britain? Why do you hate Rome, and yet use Latin Termonology? Why do you steal Irish Songs, and claim Irish hereos and legends to be your own? Your cultureless and you know it! Forget articles 2 and 3! And I support the ceasefire and power by the way. Im no Celtic head who goes around screaming Up the Ra, and yet has no clue what hes talking about.
The Dál Riata were Scotish tribes of the 8th, 7th and 5th centurys. Im Not talking Ancient history here. You could also tlak about the Danes who conquered large parts of Ireland. The British Occupation is a Far more Recent one, and An On-going one! Brian boru United all of Ireland and was King of all Ireland. Not just a recognised Leader of a confederation of tribes. Granted when he died things did immediatly go back to the way they used to be though.
No Not after he died. Before he died! And I am no facist! Protestants in the North are Irish. Where did I say they were not? I meant Loyalists were descentants of Ulster planters. I never said they were not ''Racially Pure'' Your talking crap friend. Ulster is Irish! It always will be. And the Six Countys is Not Ulster. Its a Part of it. Simple and plain. No facism involved in my thinking.
Also Ulster includes Donegal, Cavan, and Monaghan. Which are in the Republic of Ireland. The Occupied Six countys is the Occupied Six countys. Not Ulster!
Irish Unification never existed until The English crown? What about Brian boru? he United the Irish tribes. And even if we were never one sovereign state, we were All IRISH! True Ulster Men Want a United Ireland. Loyalists like you were not Ulster men, you are Descendants of British Colonists who took our Land. Yo uare celebrating a false ancestry. Tiocfaidh ár lá
Most people don't realize that while they did live in Ireland for a time before emigrating to the New World, the Scots were an Irish tribe living on the coast of County Antrim before they ever took Scotland. "Éirinn adj Ultach go Brách!" Ireland and Ulster forever
I hope that Nazi Mosley will not be seen as a heor in the future. I think that if there is a situation like that in the not too distant future then it will be Powell rather than Mosely that will be the hero.
I probably mostly am of Nordic blood being as there are so many places with Viking history where I live. I support British people where ever they are and I think the Ulster-Scots who built America, but don't get the credit for it, should be recognised.
The Ulster-scots/Scot-Irish, shaped this great nation. Currently 4.8 million Americans claim to have ancestral origins to Ulster, their vital role in American History is now only coming to light, they will be forgotten no longer, "FOR GOD AND ULSTER".
load a bollocks, 2 islands 4 nations, ireland, england, scotland, wales.... ne'er the 4 should intertwine.

A lot of shit here.firstly there were no political entities like Ireland,scotland or england 1000 years ago,a wandering tribe migrated across europe and settled france, england, scotland, and ireland in turn.Our current allegiances/identities were formed by the socio ,economic and political environment of the past 400-500 years.So the irish are'nt scots, no more than the scots are enlish and so on.

They're not called Scots-Irish, they're called "Ulster Scots".
Scottish people are not Irish and Irish people are not Scottish.
Scots = native Caledonian Picts
Irish = Celt Gael invaders from Iberia (modern Spain)
Scots and Irish are their own people with their own culture, origins, flags, anthems, religion, politics and history.

You do not know what you are talking about. No idea of real history.
Most scots are ethically Irish, and the vast bulk of the Scots who emgirated were highlanders who were DNA Irish and Irish speaking as well.
Religion is just a temporary badge held up most by those who are not genuinely religious.
Scot is Latin for the Irish race. Scots and Scotland would not exist if it were not for Irish emigrants.

The Scots (Scotti) by origin were Gaelic speaking people from Ireland they shared the same language and culture as the Irish. The English Government used mainly lowland Scots against the Highland Scots to try and destroy this Gaelic Heritage
The lowland Scots were used by the English during the plantation of Ulster. The Highland Scots and Irish often fought against the English. The Highland Scots are more conscious of their shared Gaelic Heritage with the Irish.

The Scots by origin are Gaelic speaking people from Ireland who conquered N Britain thus giving their name to Scotland
In 1746 the English Parliament at Westminster invoked the Act of Proscription that banned the wearing of tartan forbade the speaking of Gaelic, outlawed Scottish music, dancing or the playing of Bagpipes. The Lowland Scots helped the English in this persecution of their fellow Scots the Highlanders

Most people of Scots-Irish decent no longer identify themselves as such because they've been in America for such a long time. Same thing for a lot of English-Americans; they simply think of themselves as American, whereas people descended from the Irish/Italian/Polish etc. (groups that came over post-1850) usually still identify with their ancestor's ethnicity. Another problem is the census only lets you put down one ethnicity despite the fact that most people are probably a couple.

Learn a little history before you get righteously indignant. The pattern of Ulster-Scots settlement and that of the predominantly catholic south were very different both geographically and temporally. The Scots-Irish settled in the frontier durning the 17th century in large numbers, where as large numbers of Irish catholics did not come to America until the early and mid 18th century. Both groups have had a significant impact on the Unites States, they are just simply different ones.

No, the term Ulster Scot denotes the Scottish and to a lesser extent English and Welsh settlers planted there in the 17th century and who settled on their own prior to the plantations. While it is true there was an Irish Kingdom in western Scotland called Dal Raida, the two populations are quite distinct in culture, so I defy to to tell a Scotsman that he is actually Irish. As for the rest of what you said I honestly can't muddle through it, between misspellings and an utter lack of logic.

Jackson & Johnson are both southern Scots names, which can also be English.

Papists converted to Protestantism begining with the Reformation -- because of the Word of God, and the spiritual & civil freedom that America offered enhanced those conversions.

From what I understand, when England conquered Northern Ireland (consisting of 6 to 9 counties) The lowland Scots were encouraged to cross into Northern Ireland,when the plantations were set up there (not like Southern plantations but one crop plantations.) The Scots found they could not prosper any better there, so they migrated heavily to America. When the transplanted Scots from N.Ireland got off the ships "These people don't speak Irish!" "Why thier Scots!" Thus the term. Scots/Irish

FYI not to be cranky but the "Red Hand" symbolism has never been adopted by the Scotch-Irish community in America.

Reason I say this some pro Loyalists in the US and/or NI try to tie Americans with ancestory to Protestant Ulster to these symbols and to their cause, which we dont embrace.

Scot? Me? Scotch-Irish! And there's a difference. Those who came from Ulster originally considered their ancestory Irish, it wasnt until the second half of the 19th century when so many Catholics came from all of Ireland, that the differentiation was made. Though in places like Mississippi with many of ancestory from Ulster and not many Catholics around, some Scotch-Irish dont bother with the distinction, and still use just Irish. Nothing meant against Scots, we just aint them!

I'm not a bit Scots-Irish, but these folks were the settlers of the frontier, the backbone of Washington's Continental Army, and have always been the first to shed their blood for America's freedom. They're often maligned, unappreciated, and unsung-but there'd be no USA without them. My roots are ethnic Irish, but if I am ever in a foxhole and things look desparate, I want one of these fine people on my right & on my left shoulder: we'll go out, if need be, fighting as free men.
GBU, Jim Webb!

Hi BenAligtor, I'm full Irish to, but weather your roots are from the Northern Ireland or the North of Ireland/Ulster(Scot-Irish), or The South of Ireland (Irish repbublic or Free State), we are all Irish brothers one and all and need to stand together. Just thought I'd do a vid for the Scot-Irish, my next well be for the Southern Irish.

Its commendable that davy has done this video, I'm a Gael and a Scot myself. I agree you are all Irish brothers and we Scots, Irish, Scots-Irish and Ulster Scots are Gaels and the same people as well. Linked by a common history and heritage. The video was top marks.

There is no question (to me) as an American who now lives in the heart of where the Ulster Scots settled first, the Ulster Scots culture influenced America (rural America especially) more than any other group. In actuality, most American Presidents have Ulster Scots Ancestry (not mentioned with Reagan and both Bush Presidents) (both Obama and McCain do too).
While most (about 2/3) of my ancestors were Irish Catholics, I am also very, very proud of my (1/5 or so) Ulster Scots heritage.

i believe there are more scots-irish in america than there are irish catholics, apparently there are around 27 million scots-irish decendants in america but they have forgotten their true identity and in their cencus wrote down scottish or irish.

Would your great great grandfathers the first settlers have said the same??EHH NO,you turncoat,just as your "kinsmen" did after the the Jacobite rebellion became englishmen and your beloved scots in america fell into line with the Union.REAL FACT boy

NO Béal Feirste ranger you are wrong again the Normans were'nt catholic they were Christian the Reformation had'nt started yet you narrow minded fool more proof of your Sectarian upbringing.And for the record the first "english invasion was led by Welsh-born French speaking Normans from the Welsh marches who were surely not in favor of Henry the 2nd,and in time became "more Irish than the Irish themselves "just like you are changing,the way you now call yourself "Irish and British"

and 40 percent of Northern Ireland are Irish nationalist. Making all of Ulster a large majority Irish Nationalist. You do realise your sweet British nation is being shared by Sinn Féin? lol the union is falling apart son.

Dont mind wee Branger he makes false statements then blocks people like the COWARD he is,Ireland was United in 1002 under Brian Boru even though some few eastern Leinster sub-kingdoms resisted,the most influential family in Ireland up to that point -the Uí Néills recognised him as High-King so hes just sniffing @balls,once again.
maddogmcglinchey 3 years ago
Is that why they kept rebelling? Ulster was the province that most union untill mid 1600s. FACT

The English crown NEVER held sway in Ireland Until the 16th Century onwards! Anglo Normans Held tiyn plots of Land on and off, but it was only with the Plantations that Ireland really fell under English Control. See your Messages Also.

The video also dosen't mention the many, many places in America that have Northern Irish names such as ,Belfast, West belfast, 6 or 7 bangors and many more!

St Patrick was welsh, Not British. Britain as State did not exist at his time.And I Couldent care less even if he was English. So what? Hes still our patron saint. Why even bring this up??

Yes 6 Countys of Ulster are British occupied. But Ulster is not. Why do you people Refer to yourselfs as Ulster men? When you are So loyal To Britain? Why do you hate Rome, and yet use Latin Termonology? Why do you steal Irish Songs, and claim Irish hereos and legends to be your own? Your cultureless and you know it! Forget articles 2 and 3! And I support the ceasefire and power by the way. Im no Celtic head who goes around screaming Up the Ra, and yet has no clue what hes talking about.

The Dál Riata were Scotish tribes of the 8th, 7th and 5th centurys. Im Not talking Ancient history here. You could also tlak about the Danes who conquered large parts of Ireland. The British Occupation is a Far more Recent one, and An On-going one! Brian boru United all of Ireland and was King of all Ireland. Not just a recognised Leader of a confederation of tribes. Granted when he died things did immediatly go back to the way they used to be though.
darrin42 3 years ago 2
No Not after he died. Before he died! And I am no facist! Protestants in the North are Irish. Where did I say they were not? I meant Loyalists were descentants of Ulster planters. I never said they were not ''Racially Pure'' Your talking crap friend. Ulster is Irish! It always will be. And the Six Countys is Not Ulster. Its a Part of it. Simple and plain. No facism involved in my thinking.
darrin42 3 years ago 3
Also Ulster includes Donegal, Cavan, and Monaghan. Which are in the Republic of Ireland. The Occupied Six countys is the Occupied Six countys. Not Ulster!
darrin42 3 years ago 2
Irish Unification never existed until The English crown? What about Brian boru? he United the Irish tribes. And even if we were never one sovereign state, we were All IRISH! True Ulster Men Want a United Ireland. Loyalists like you were not Ulster men, you are Descendants of British Colonists who took our Land. Yo uare celebrating a false ancestry. Tiocfaidh ár lá

Ireland is and always will be one country; NI is an artificial state that won't exist once the country is reunified, just like East Germany.

Most people don't realize that while they did live in Ireland for a time before emigrating to the New World, the Scots were an Irish tribe living on the coast of County Antrim before they ever took Scotland. "Éirinn adj Ultach go Brách!" Ireland and Ulster forever

I love this. I have a Myspace page about the Scots-Irish and I'd like to post it on it.
The Scots-Irish helped build the foundations that made America great. I am very proud to be Scots-Irish.

I hope that Nazi Mosley will not be seen as a heor in the future. I think that if there is a situation like that in the not too distant future then it will be Powell rather than Mosely that will be the hero.

I probably mostly am of Nordic blood being as there are so many places with Viking history where I live. I support British people where ever they are and I think the Ulster-Scots who built America, but don't get the credit for it, should be recognised.

In the same way that the Celts did to the Ancient Britons?

The Ulster-scots/Scot-Irish, shaped this great nation. Currently 4.8 million Americans claim to have ancestral origins to Ulster, their vital role in American History is now only coming to light, they will be forgotten no longer, "FOR GOD AND ULSTER".
