Don’t know, but there’s a great book entitled “How the Scot Irish Saved America” (or something real close to that).
My daughters read it in American History in Israel and then I read it. Fascinating.
I think this is it, but I remember the title differently:
https://www.amazon.com/Born-Fighting-Scots-Irish-Shaped-America/dp/0767916891
Maybe it’s been renamed, or they changed the name in the Hebrew version.
And what about the Irish Irish? Paddy wagons were named after them, and all those signs saying “No Irish Need Apply” was not meant to exclude Davy Crocket. Speaking of which, when do they get their reparations? Eh? What? Do ye have a problem with the Irish, then? “Well, then here’s a few more for ya!”, as an Irish ex-cop turned lawyer once told me after I pi$$ed him off yet again. Who is it that gave binge drinking a bad name? Where did all the crooked party machines come from, if not for the Irish Irish? And without those, what would the DNC have done in the olden days before they discovered government handouts. What would comedy have been like without Jackey Gleason and Art Carney?
