Bat Goddess | BS: The Term 'Scotch-Irish' (42) | RE: BS: The Term 'Scotch-Irish' | 08 May 19 |
As taught in grade school and high school in the 1950s and 1960s, the term (usually about the origins of the people who settled the Appalachian region) had absolutely no religious or political connotations. And it was decades before I made the connection that "Scotch-Irish" were Ulster Protestants. |
