Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a fascinating exploration of the significant role played by Scots in the settlement and development of the United States and Canada. The author meticulously traces the two primary streams of Scottish immigration to America: those who came directly from Scotland and those who emigrated from the province of Ulster in Ireland. The book delves into the complex historical context of these migrations, including the reasons behind the Ulster Plantation, the persecution of Presbyterians in Scotland, and the economic and political conditions that prompted Scots to seek a new life in the New World. The author provides detailed accounts of specific Scottish settlements throughout the colonies, highlighting the contributions of Scots to various aspects of American life, from politics and religion to commerce and exploration. The book sheds light on the enduring impact of Scottish ideals, such as a strong work ethic, a commitment to education, and a passion for civil and religious liberty, on the formation of American culture. The author's meticulously researched narrative, coupled with compelling biographies of notable Scots and their descendants, offers readers an engaging and insightful look into the vital role of Scottish immigrants in shaping the destinies of both the United States and Canada.
