Description:

Northern Ireland journalist and author Billy Kennedy, in this seventh of the highly popular chronicles on the Scots-Irish diaspora, charts the Ulster Presbyterian influences in the series of historic, mold-breaking events which resulted in the creation of the United States of America.

In the establishment of the United States, the Scots-Irish were one of the most highly influential groups, both in the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 1776 and the Revolutionary War which followed. This group of dedicated stalwarts, whose families emigrated to America from the Irish province of Ulster throughout the 18th century, were resolute and uncompromising champions of the movement for American independence.

Bitter experiences of religious discrimination and economic deprivation in their Scottish Ulster homelands gave impetus to the Scots-Irish throwing off the shackles of the old order when they moved to the American colonies and opened the great frontier lands.

The Scots-Irish were in the vanguard of American patriot involvement on all fronts of the war, but it was in the frontier that they made their most significant contribution. Quite uniquely, as a people they rose to the awesome challenge of the American frontier--its danger, inaccessibility, and sheer enormity.
