Scotch - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia To scotch is to quash, refute or defeat.

Ulster-Scots - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia During the Irish Rebellion of 1641, the native Irish Catholics attempted to expel the English and Scottish settlers, resulting in inter-communal violence and ultimately leading to the death of somewhere between 10,00 and 20,000 settlers. The Scottish population in Ulster was further augmented during the subsequent Irish Confederate Wars, when a Scottish Covenanter army was landed in the province to protect the settlers from the native Irish Catholic forces. The Protestant victories at Derry, the Boyne and Aughrim are still commemorated today, because many Irish Protestants believed they had saved their community from annihilation or exile at the hands of the Jacobites. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Scotch-Irish   (729 words)

Vanguard News Network Forum - Scotch Irish Yet it seems that the legend of the Hispanic Irish, told by the 'Blacks' and white Irish alike, transmits with it an inherent quality that the alleged descendants are proud to mention. This benevolent attitude and association of the Irish to the Spanish may be the myth's purpose, the 'why' of its existence. Spanish blood, coupled with Irish blood, would be better seen as a corrupting liquid that should be bled from the body politic and denied rather than cherished, remembered, and mythologized. www.vnnforum.com /showthread.php?t=6616   (1120 words)

SCOTCH-IRISH SOCIETY OF NORTH CAROLINA, INC. Following the influx of Irish immigrants who were Catholic, the term Scotch-Irish became more common so as to distinguish the well-established Scottish Protestants with Irish roots from the newcomers who were roundly despised due to their different religion, different customs, and dire poverty. Because the established church of England was Anglican (known today as the Episcopal church in the United States), and because of the doctrinal antipathy between the Anglicans and the Presbyterians, by the 1700s the Scotch-Irish were under the yoke of religious oppression in their adopted home. Who are the "Scotch-Irish?" Many people in the United States, including those who are Scotch-Irish, do not know their ancestral beginnings and what experiences brought about the unique Scotch-Irish culture that helped transform the thirteen British colonies into the United States of America. www.scotch-irishsociety.org /about.html   (1925 words)

Our Scotch/Irish Heritage Although there is evidence of the use of this term, or others, (Ulster Irish, Northern Irish, Irish Presbyterians) to differentiate the Scotch/Irish immigrants from other citizens of America, it is believed to have generally fallen into non-use by the 1840's, wherever it had been used. The use of the term "Irish" in the United States up to that time usually meant Scotch-Irish, as the Catholic Irish simply had not been a major immigrating force until that time. The Irish, as many new classes of immigrants are in a new country, were not looked on favorably by the general population. members.aol.com /ntgen/hrtg/scirish.html   (2394 words)

The Scotch-Irish This event, known in Irish history as the "Flight of the Earls," resulted in the lands of these noblemen being forfeited (escheated) to the English Crown.

Irish The name, Scotch-Irish, is a bit deceptive; one might be led to believe that it implies the intermingling and marriage of people of the two nationalities. Although the Lowland Scots would have acquired a few customs of the native Irish, they became associated with the "Irish" and separated from their Scottish brethren only so far as having taken up residence in that island. Therefore, this discussion will be concerned primarily with those Ulster families, who need to be differentiated from the "native Irish" and the Scots who also immigrated to the New World. www.motherbedford.com /Irish.htm   (386 words)
