> Th Scoth-Irish were not really Irish, either. Rather, they were Scottish
people who had moved to Ireland (some say they were "relocated" by the
British) to help control the Irish. Because of tensions and wars, some made
the move to the New world, settling in areas that reminded them of the
highlands of Scotland, like the Appalachian Mountains (ie Western PA -
However, some stayed in Ulster/Northern Ireland, and as a result, there are
the religious/racial wars that continue to spring up in Northern Ireland).
