    Check out the song Cowboy Song by Irish rock band Thin Lizzy, which featured half black and half Irish Phil Lynott on lead vocals and bass guitar.

    A very poorly known aspect of history. My maternal grandfathers parents lived on the reservation. One was Irish, the other Choctaw. Neither was welcome outside the reservation. At that time the irish where seen as subhuman, like the natives. There are reasons the irish were repressed after the british and french settlers founded enough local government. there is much more to american history than taught. I will say though, it has to do with the entities that wanted the land, and the history they would prefer. The etymology is very telling, and the irish roots are very deep. Good job on figuring out some of the irish roots. It goes much much deeper though. Deep enough to upset the apple cart.

      @LazerCatHelmet. As a proud Irish man, I want to thank the choctaw people for the donation to the Irish famine relief fund, because of that money, many lives were saved. The decendes of those people are alive today because of the choctaw.

    Total garbage from beginning to end, I can only assume the narration was AI created like the visuals. For a start, Catholic emancipation was in 1829, well before the famine, so all that garbage at the beginning is clearly wrong. Secondly, there had already been significant Irish emigration to America beginning a century before that in the form of the Ulster-Scots or "Scotch Irish" as they were known. It was from that stock that most of the most famous Indian fighters, frontiersmen, gunfighters, Lawmen and ranchers came, Daniel Boone, Kit Carson, Davy Crocket, Jim Bridger, Hugh Glass, Jeremiah Johnson. Most of the early Presidents too, and senior Army officers like Grant, Sherman, McLellan, Lee, Hook, Jackson etc. The incoming waves of immigrants arriving from 1845 onwards had little to teach the Americans about horsemanship or anything else, the Spanish were mainly responsible for that and most "cowboy" terms come from their language, not Irish, Rodeo, Lariat, Sombrero etc. The Catholic Irish of the later 1800's were mainly concentrated in the towns and cities of the East, where they remain evident to this day, and less so in the mid and far west. It was in the East that they began to gain political power and influence. This video is almost complete nonsense and any Irish person who believes it really needs to broaden their reading.

      In fairness the Ulster Scots are not Irish and none of those fleeing the famine had land or any prospect of it and the famine started only sixteen years after 1829. But I agree in general

    The Irish term for a Boy is 'Buachaill', composed of two elements 'bua' for cattle and 'chaill' for herd, meaning boys were tasked with caring for the clan's cattle herds. Much the same as the responsibility given to East African Masai boys taking the herds out of the 'Krall' for grazing daily. It was natural for young Irish men from a rural background to work in that role in America. Incidentally, the Irish language word for a trail or road is 'Bo-thar', meaning cattle path.

    Another Oirish appropriation session.
    The music you speak of is in most cases Scots or Ulster Scots - those modern Americans know as Irish American, folks who were there long before the Potato blight, who had major input to the American revolution, the declaration of independence and the constitution.
    And, by the way, the Ulster Scots ventured to America during the first “ethnic cleansing” so that they could continue their Presbyterian faith.

      The Irish of the famine era settled in the cities of the US North East and became urbanised in a single generation. Because of their tragic experience during the famine they did not move to farming or other rural ways of life. That was the role of the Ulster Scots Irish, mostly non Catholic and different culturally to the Irish of the famine times.
      Because of the inheritance systems of 1830's Ireland the Irish Catholic tenant farmers were subsistance very small scale farmers and farm labourers and fishermen and most were not happy to continue in this life in the New World. They ended up in mining, factories, firemen and police and other paid jobs in the cities instead.
      In stark contrast the Scots Irish were trailblazers who occupied land in Appalachia and further west and were the model for Horace Grealleys famous dictum " Go west Young Man ,a call for Americas manifest destiny to expand westward and take up new lands in the American west in the 1870's.
      This expansion was at great cost to the native americans already living there, a people mistakenly called Indians who were wiped out by disease, violence and wars which were a tragic feature of Westerns in film and written form in American cultural practice.
      Jesse James, mentioned in the video, was an offshoot of the recent American Civil War who sought to continue the conflict after official hostilites had ended in 1865. He was what would be called partisan or bushranger in other countries at that time, like Ned Kelly from Australia and the Wicklow rebels of 1798 in Ireland in former times. Treated with great fear and loathing by official law but regarded with a sneaky affection by others who also felt the raw hand of unjust law enforcement and unfair oppression common in those times.
