Description

The Scots-Irish have left an indelible mark on American history. Their bloodline is tainted by centuries of conflict along the England-Scotland border and in Northern Ireland's Ulster Plantation, shaping their cultural identity as rebels, outcasts, and skilled frontiersmen. When hundreds of thousands of Scots-Irish migrated to America in the eighteenth century, they brought with them a unique blend of skills and values. This remarkable ethnic group has played a profound but often overlooked role in shaping American society, politics, and culture from its inception to the present day. Born Fighting is the first book to chronicle the epic journey of this significant ethnic group, exploring their impact on America's social, political, and cultural landscape.
