It simply counts this as an ongoing aspect of the War between the English and the Scots-Irish.

Hmmmm....maybe that's why when I traced my momma's line back it went to the Scottish Wemyss line in the late 1600s(changed to Weems here in the 1700s). My daddy's line was in SC but they were mostly Heinz 57 I think. Not many records on them.

I guess I just got a little tied up in the terminology and in the English/Scottish thing, but it seems to make sense. Regardless, we are now left with a very distinct difference between the North and South - completely different mindsets about nearly every subject, IMO.

I thought it was very interesting. Not to say it's proven, but it is something to keep in the back of your mind when discussing this demographical split.
