Most of my ancestors were Presbyterian Ulster-Scot and we came over between 1700-1800. We never considered ourselves Brits but I didn't inherit the anger and hatred that fueled our War of Independence. That was a long time ago. You are my blood kin and the Irish are not. But our culture here in the States have integrated the Irish and appreciate and value them. I'm praying for peace and integration and happiness for everyone who calls Northern Ireland home. Everything is evolving there in the British Isles. London today is not the London your parents and grandparents grew up with. I visited Scotland during the Coronation of Charles by accident. I've never been impressed with the Royal family. I went to the Castle in Edinburgh to see the Stone of Destiny and it was "borrowed " for the Coronation. That didn't fit well with my return to my roots trip, lol!
We'd say Ulster-Scots over here in Scotland, only the US Irish & Irish catholics use that term, they were essentially Scottish but the term Ulster-Scots is pretty accurate. Definitely not Irish no matter how much wishful thinking exists out there.
Good video, thank you for posting this. However, 5.4 million seems like a low estimate to me. You wouldn’t think I have this ancestry by looking at me but I do. I’m not the only one. I think those numbers are likely higher than that in reality.
Ulster Scots, not Scots-Irish. The Ulster Scots were a Presbyterian plantation of Scots into Ulster. They were never Irish any shape or form and always considered themselves to be Scots because of their origins and beliefs.
I wonder 🤔 f there is disagreement about this. My great grandmother McNeil Insisted on the use of the term "Scots-Irish", and would become upset if persons used a different term..
@@julesroyI agree. My Grandmother told me she was Irish in the 1970s. When I had my DNA tests, several, done, I had 25% Scottish. This was shocking. But my dad's cousin has shared our ancestry tree with me that year. And, my first Scottish ancestors were Ulster Plantation Scottish, emigrated to the British Carolina Colonies, then to Tennessee after the American Revolution where my 3rd Great Grandfather fought the n the Civil War, married my Cherokee 3rd Great Grandmother. My Scots Irish ancestors are related to William Jefferson Clinton, US President.
They were dirt poor peasants who migrated and when their ancestors saw wealth for the first time on the backs of African enslaved labor, they made slavery that huge in the United States. Read Jefferson Davis' speech of 1862 at Montgomery Alabama 😊
Dirt poor peasants did not own slaves and often worked under worse conditions than slaves due to not being someone's property & thus disposable. You are thick.
Im one and know our heritage, still in northern ireland here today, hello to our brethren across the pond

Oh, hello. My Ulster Scots ancestor, first generation born in the Colonies, fought the American Revolution with his brother.
Thank you for this

Irish? No. We're American.
I wish we Scots had never gone to Ireland, its been far more trouble that it was worth.
Gold mine here!

The "problem" with ancestry in the United States is that it is self-reported. Lots of "family folklore" can obfuscate facts.

Like she said, once moved on, there are now interchangeable terms. I do agree with your sentiment that they aren't Irish.
They more often self-identified as Irish, not Scottish, according to most scholarly work (eg. Leyburn) on the subject.

@@julesroy Ulster-Scots definitely, Scots for sure, not Irish that's just a fact.
