After the Battle of Cullodan. The British passed The Transportation Act. This sent able bodied Scots to North Carolina to work as Slaves in the pits making pitch for hulls of His Majestie’s Ships. The tar would turn their heels black.

I didn't either, until today.
Interesting story nevertheless.

Let's hear it for North Carolina!
