Scots Irish I believe yall call Ulster Scots basically built and settled the Appalachian Mountains from North Alabama to West Virginia.From Daniel Boone to General Nathan Bedford Forrest.I now understand why I never met a white Catholic until I was 20 years old.I now understand why the original Klan founded by Scots Irish forbid Catholics.Not looking for arguments just wanted to say thank yall for helping me understand some of my own heritage.
