Nice for people in U.S., the "Scotch-irish" or Ulster Scots who have that ethnicity and came through N. ireland from Scotland from 1650, in what then became a journey way to U.S. They made up half the soldiers of the Revolutionary Army, settled the Appalachian mountains, and fought for South Independence.
@gforce1710 What?-- even in wikis, not even contested material. Scots came 1750s thru ulster, irish-irish later 1830-50, 'famine,' were brought to comprise army 4 u.s. north; they also used marx's "48-ers from failed com rev/ germany. S. had been in u.s. 3 gen by then, overlapped with children of rev (american revolutionary soldiers). N. army was half foreign born, even songs about it. Scotch-irish acknowledged as oldest u.s. settlers all the time; recent book by senator about it
@gforce1710 Libraries of books substantiate it, oral history, songs & literature, etc. So, what is your counter belief? I'm genuinely curious. Even if you're not from the U.S., nor have ever visited, you would know this stuff. You just sort of name call, as if that means you know something, which is a tired strategy so often used by people who have nothing to say. Sorry to say it, but responding in that manner just makes you look dumb.
@gforce1710 You can research it, but who do YOU think they were? All English, lol? The people in the colonies then were largely English, Scots who left Ulster in 1650s, and Germans. There were some catholics here then, largely Massachusetts, Marylands areas, for instance, and the Carrolls (only catholic signer of u.s. country documents in national creation) were there. Anyway, that country was taken over. So, it's a moot point, lol. Still, u can look it up.
Another thing I know is , alot of Irishmen who the British deported from Ireland sometimes for no reason, Achieved high ranks in the American Military and over in Australasia.
All culture is human and all invention too. The Scottish contribution to Ireland and Ulster, and vice versa, should be celebrated regardless of personal beliefs as to what state regions should be in. Thats why I can listen to English folk music and still oppose unionism. There not the same thing except iif we choose to view them as the representations of political aspirations.
All culture and language is an invbention and ridicululous, depending on your standpoint. Thats why the Brits were able to ridicule Irish language and culture for centuries. They saw it as inferior and bogus because it diodnt fit their assumptions of what should be spoken and followed there.
Willie Drennan is no less culturally legitemate than the Pogues. Its just that theres a risk in accepting another culture, that its viewpoint threatens the hegemony of accepted right culture.
