I am from one of several old, easy to trace families in Ohio County, West Virginia. One of my childhood buddies four times great grandfather could have had the same relationship to mine. We had lost the language to the cultural mix of the nearby upper Ohio Valley, but the travel back and forth between Ulster and the Borders rings a bell. My family most recently from Galloway had come from Ulster originally. Celts like all of the others.

Warms my heart to see Irish and Ulster-Scots, Catholics and Protestants getting along at least in these small pockets. It gives me hope that someday, though they may not agree politically or religiously, the people of Northern Ireland will all live together in the spirit of peace and friendship.

The Scots Tenant-Farmers in North East Ireland were persecuted as Presbyterians along with Irish Catholics under Anglican Penal Laws. They were also overtaxed on the Homes they built on land owned by English Absentee Landlords. The Rebel Scots left for America to fight the Crown in the American War of Independence side by side with every religion in the Colonies. The Loyalists to the Crown stayed in Ireland and unlike the Rebels who fought for American Independence they fought to protect the Crown and live as Subjects of the Crown instead of the Free Republic like the Republic of the United States of America

@@johndoe-ss9bz You tell a pretty story, but it's deceptively inaccurate. Ulster-Scots started immigrating to North America in 1717, well before the American Revolution and fought for the crown during the French-Indian War. From 1642 to 1651, the Ulster-Scots, along with other English Puritans, both supported Oliver Cromwell during the English Civil War and fought on the side of King Billy against James II, who was the last Catholic monarch of England, Scotland, and Ireland. You also fail to recognize that each colony had their own religious penal laws, particularly against Catholics. Even Maryland, which was originally conceived as a sanctuary for Catholics repealed the colony's Toleration Act in 1654 and replaced it with restrictions on Catholics. As for America's loyalty to the crown, by the time of the 1770 Boston Massacre, wide spread resentment toward the crown was limited to Massachusetts and a few of it's neighboring colonies and it wasn't until 1774 that the colonies resorted to actual open rebellion against the monarchy. Before the American Revolution, we were British. We viewed ourselves as royal subjects and we acted like it.
