Excellent look into how the Scots-Irish in this country helped build this country with their own sweat and blood, truly both. It also shows how the aristocracy in this country long ago started a needless and hateful prejudice between the two most influential cultures in this country, the scots-irish and the african american, when in reality, they are the two most similar backgrounds in the USA. Awesome book, amazing information, truly a most read for any history buff like myself.

One review of this book called it " readable history" and, indeed, it is.
Very enjoyable reading.
