Beginnings of the Ulster-Scots / Scotch-Irish.

I'm from Belfast maine. I couldn't comment on that video but im41 born and raised here along with my fathers side of the family. Its a nice coastal town. But its cool knowing the history of it

I am a Wilson from county Antrim. Proud of my Ulster-Scot ancestry

I have my Mother's old married name, but know who my Father is. I met him a few years ago and tests confirmed. Following his name led me to 1700 Ireland.
But...Latta is a Scottish name.
I was lost awhile at a dead end.
Couldn't reconcile a Scottish name coming out of Londonderry, Ireland to Pennsylvania, USA.
This is a missing link, by the looks of it. And a bit of history that seems important to prior.
I wish I knew more...a lot more.

Oh hey that’s me!! My DNA Scottish/Irish!! Yay!!

My great 4 times grandfather 1st Lieutenant Adam Calhoun Scot came here and fought in the Revolutionary War his monument is in Pennsylvania! He a Scot /Irish man came here to worship God as a Presbyterian not a Catholic! That’s why my family kept moving to Scotland and then when another king came up and wanted Scotland to be Catholic they left and came to America!

I don't think this was a term they applied to themselves. If you were born in Ireland, and so were your parents, grandparents, great, great-great etc (remember people lived much faster lives on account of shorter lifespans) were all born and raised in Ireland you probably just called yourself Irish if you immigrated to the U.S.

It wasn't until the tide of Irish Catholic immigrants started to come in (fleeing the "famine", searching for better lives) and Anti-Irish, Anti-Catholic sentiments started growing that people felt the need to label themselves as something else and the "Scotch-Irish" societies started popping up..

Kings James VI & I was no friend to the Scots OR the Irish

They present this that this is to different countries. Ireland was one country. They were two different people living in the same place, one being the planters who came and push the indigenous Celts off the land. They never consider themselves to be Irish, but nonetheless lived in Ireland.

All my white trash relatives are scots Irish descent. Coincidence? I don’t know

They came to stay--stay that is,after they again emigrated to the New World and some other places (Australia?)
Did Butcher Cromwell not like Irish but did he like Presbyterians? I suspect not so much
a cruel social engineering joke to set these Celtic peoples against each other for the benefit of their "owners"?
I think some of us have ancestry from both sides (Irish and Ulster Scot)
A lot of former Ulster Scots came over here over a long time period,some were much more religious than others? Some of them founded some of our most prestigious colleges/universities while others invented ways to convert corn into whiskey so as to avoid heavy taxation on corn? Diverse?

The beginning of the red neck hillbillies.Gave up the flute for the banjo after immigrating to the American

What was that battle in the 9th century where there were 3 Northern Irish kingdoms, then one of the Kingdoms swapped sides and the loser then had to go to Scotland ? Maybe they were coming back to Ulster where they were from originally ?

That is not how king James looked

It was King James 6th of Scotland that took over England, why blame the English, it was the Scots that invaded Ireland, even King Robert the Bruce in 1316 invaded Ireland and his brother was the last High King of Ireland the Scots wanted to have a wedge with France in the South, Irrland in the West, and the Scots in the North.

Let's not forget that the original Ulster Irish were not Irish and Catholic, NOT English and Scottish planted settlers. History has ignored this for centuries! And I myself have Ulster N. Ireland ancestry, with some Scouts and English ancestry as well.

Correction, were Irish and Catholic Ulster residents.

You stripped us of our land and our country you fucks!!

Scots "Irish" are not Irish

Scotch is a whisky… Scots are the people…

My Murrays are Catholics from county cork. They got here mid 1800s. 🇺🇸 Things I was told: They were called Black Irish. Used to be McMurray. Once served a Scottish King. Family crest has 3 stars.

Why were they all so dumb?

The Scottish peoples originated in Ireland !
The Romans knew the Irish as the Scotti and the Scotti invaded Alba and defeated the Picts who lived there changing the name of the country from Alba to Scotti- land Scotland. Therefore the Ulster Scots were just returning to their homeland.

me father and his father were ozark mt. hillbillies and i say you can all fuk-off!!!

after years and years of studying genealogy and my birth mother insisting we were irish ive discovered the truth, we were irish but we were scots irish my scots irish ancestors settled in ohio

At some point history failed to track the Scots to Louisiana and Texas.

forged in scotland....forced over to ireland.

An ancestor of mine immigrated to America from Wales. His name, William Voyles and he settled in the Carolinas. Voyles fought with the Americans and when the war ended he received a land grant in Cabarrus County, North Carolina.

Most Anglo Irish Scottish Americans like myself don't realize that these are the events that led up to our families leaving Europe for the new promiseland❤

I'm proud of my ancestors and the ones who stayed in Ireland.

Thank goodness for the liberty seeking Presbyterian men who helped establish a new Country, it wasn't the Irish catholic people who fought against king George, as some deluded American believe. Let's hope the freedom that was gained will never be lost.

I wonder why a quarter of a million of them left? Could it be the oppressive Penal laws of 1695 which also affected Presbyterians? Laws meant to take away their freedom of religion? Imagine that! Ulster loyalists being screwed over by England. How things have changed?

M DNA is 98% BRitish Isles. Have great grandfathers galore that founght in the American Revolutionary War. Family settles in Conneticut, Virginia, Kentucky Proud Hillbilly.

This video is 13/14 years old and that map of 1622 is 402 years old in 2024, 17th century(1601-1700), 18th century(11701-1800) 1717-76(America becoming independent in 1776 and US Revolutionery War 1775-83 during the Georgian Period).

This was the biggest disaster in Irish history. Uninvited planters and land thieves who were criminals driven out lower Scotland because they were nothing only trouble, taking a part of our country. They can go back home.

Poor Ireland and its Native People Suffered indeed .

You can Not be An Ulster Man and Not Be An Irishman Ian Paisley Sr

Glesga masel Calum.

Whiskey is Scotch but people from Scotland are ‘Scots’. There’s a difference.

SEND THEM BACK

The history of many branches of my family! However, it neglects the story of the thousands of Scots-Irish and Irish who came to America through Charlestowne in South Carolina and settled in the Carolinas and Georgia and contributed mightily to what the British called “The Presbyterian War!”

Shoneen and a back seat driver.

Just coming back to this video since the Catholics and the Protestants in Northern Ireland are now uniting against Two-Tier Keir 🇬🇧 🍻 🇮🇪

This is dumb. Ulster Scots have been around since the days of fumunder.

The Ulster Scots weren’t satisfied with what the got for nothing in Ulster and so went across the ocean in search of more freebies. The original welfare queens.

My moms family is McCutcheon and is descended from Ulster Scots

King james is a lame ass. Rest in piss homie. Like almost all greggs i come from william gregg (McGregor) william penn converted them and many other families to be quakers. All that peace shit came to an end when they had a chance to get back at them during the revolutionary War
