@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.

@westchesterny

Half the revolutionary army were Ulster Scots?

And I have visited the US, 5 times.

@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.

@westchesterny

Haha keep believing that kid!

[westchesterny]

@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

[westchesterny]

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.
