Presented by Charles Witherspoon.
Musical ballad arrangements by Billy White.
Illustrations by Rowel Friers.

I like the glimpse of the Massey-Ferguson tractor at 8:13. Harry Ferguson was an Ulsterman, so this machine befits the subject matter here.

What is the main evolutionary point of Ulster, and which of the several anti Catholic elements has been the best over the history of Ulster?

@197615july 3 жыл бұрын

Nay. Not Scotch irish! The Scotch irish live in Scotland! It was the Ulster Scots who left Ulster for the new world! Ulster was never, and never will be irish! Edit. We even have our own language, IT'S CALLED ULSTER SCOTS!

This was before there ever was a republic of Ireland or even a partition, ya head-melter! Some of the SCOTS-IRISH came from the Lowlands of Scotland and the borders of England & Scotland, and some from what was the Plantation of Ulster, in...wait for it...Ireland! Which is what it was called in 1720, and where they sailed from, which is what was on the ships manifest, and therefore on their immigration records. Some even sailed from Dublin or Liverpool. Some of them called themselves Scots, others Irish, and some just preferred to be called Americans. You call yourself whatever you like, and we Scots-Irish in America will do the same, as we have done for centuries, and will do for many more.
