Beautiful music, great history lesson!

Great video, I'm descended of Ulster-Scots. I have to point out that the migrations were voluntary but the "Scots who left for Ulster ran the gamut of character" trying to improve their lot in life. They also didn't think themselves "celtic" as the lowlands were feudal unlike their highland catholic cousins who wore kilts and played bagpipes. the lowlanders that came to Ulster were mostly poor presbyterian farmers. "The Scotch-Irish: A Social History" by Leyburn is a great read on them

@seonidh Amen!!! And the art on the standing stones looks extremely Celtic as well. I seriously doubt that the Picts were Germanic!!! The Angles were of course, but not the Picts!!!

@MICKJAC08 Unfortunately the French-Indian War is a bit of a hole in my knowledge of history. For whatever reason I just haven't had much about it in my education. I do know about the whole Vinland thing, though. Awesome story. I've even gone back and read the original sagas that the stories came from.

@PookieDude1 Also the French you are speaking of. Did not move down to the Northern U.S. of their own freewill. They were run-out by the British, and they mostly ended-up in Louisanna, before most were eventually allowed back. This is why they are called ACADIANS. You need to study about the French/Indian war. As this is when G. BRITAIN took control of N.A., until 1776. Wish I could explain in detail here for you. Lastly, the 1st immigrants/settlers to N.A. were the Vikings in Newfoundland, Can.

@PookieDude1 Wrong my friend. The French did arrive in what is now known as Canada, only to originally trap,fish, etc. France had no plans to build a new country, hence: immigrate. Great Britain saw the bigger picture, and they decided to not only use the so-called new world as more than just a land rich in stated furs,fish, and other such raw materials. They dediced to colonise it. This was at the same time basically, as they were doing the same in what is now the U.S.A.

@RedShirtArmy Idk. These groups displaced English & brought their own influence into universities, business, etc. NYC now only 4% wasp. NO English there or in acknowledged cities of u.s. power. It's like blaming "new england" or "puritans" for every bad (some groups r highly invested in creating books with that narrative, etc.) In part, a "yankee" is a jewish communist-statist and catholic nationalist (not catholic, but pro-theocracy) coalition to rid country of wasps and southerns, no?

it all makes sense now, the racists and sectarian bigots it all stems from south of scotland and scottish reformation. they need the popes authority

@RedShirtArmy Don't forget the French. Most of the first immigrants to Canada were French. Many of them came down into what later became the northern US states.
There are plenty of other European groups that have been in the south a very long time. Such as the English, French, a little Spanish, and others. Do they have no place in your southern nation? (honest question)

@TheAmericanDefender Yes, they do. All the historical groups are embraced. However, just as the Afrikaner nation was built on a Dutch base (with Germans, Flemings, French, etc. added in small numbers later), so too is the Southern nation largely built on an Ulster-Scots (and arguably English) base with French Huguenots, Germans, etc. added. I am not trying to diminish those other groups. My own family is over half German - unusual for the South. I'm jut celebrating what unites most of us.

@RedShirtArmy Hmm sounds good to me. If you don't mind, I would like to know what culture the North is based on? I myself am 1/2 English that arrived here before America was a country, and my other half is French that arrived here quite some time ago tho I'm not too sure.

@TheAmericanDefender The original Yankee culture was English. That ethnic group spread out from the Boston area to most of New England and from there spread through the Great Lakes region. But recent immigrant groups (Italians, Irish, Poles, Russians, Jews, etc.) from all parts of Europe and beyond now probably greatly outnumber the original English-descended Yankees as an ethnic group. However, Yankee culture has been spread to other ethnic groups via media, universities and so on.
