Facts and finds

The Scots-Irish are the North American descendants of Presbyterian and other Ulster Protestant Dissenters from various parts of Ireland who migrated during the 18th and 19th centuries. These Scots originally migrated to Ireland in large numbers as a result of the government-sanctioned Plantation of Ulster.
Many of these Ulster Scots later left Ireland to seek economic opportunities and freedom from the control of the Episcopal Church of England and the Scottish Episcopal Church. These included 200,000 Scottish Presbyterians who settled in Ireland between 1608 and 1697. Many left Ireland in pursuit of greater religious freedoms after King Charles I attempted to force Presbyterians into the Church of England during the 1630s. Later attempts to force the Church of England's control over dissident Protestants in Ireland were to lead to further waves of emigration to the trans-Atlantic colonies.
