We, Maxwell’s, did not eat the livers of our cousins in Northern England. It is an outrage, we only stole all that whey owned, then again they gave us some pay back, James the First.

Quite a few people that settled in America go by the term “Scots-Irish,” but careful study shows many of them were originally from Northern Endland, not Scotland.

They had moved once to Ireland, and again to America and at first just went by “Irish.”

Later the term “Scots-Irish” came into use to differentiate them from the later potato famine Irish Catholics, who were seen as dirty, poor and often didn’t even much speak English.
