Lousy history. The SCOTS and Irish came before the revolution and settled in the Blue Tidge and Smoky Mountains.....Appalachia
They did what they had always done. Figured out a way to maximize their profits. Corn in and of itself wasn’t very profitable. Shine on the other hand....
The SCOTS and Irish fought against the Brits and had important wins during the revolution
Yes, many of the Scots who fought in the Revolution were the children and grandchildren of the Scots who came here as a result of the "Highland Clearances" after the 1745 rebellion.
