The Scotch-Irish people were one of the numerous immigrants who looked for shelter and alleviation in America. The Scotch-Irish appeared in the mid-seventeenth century when the English government, on edge to dominate Ireland, removed Lowland Scots as pilgrims to the province of Ulster in northern Ireland. For around a century the Scotch-Irish squeezed out a living in Ireland, yet in the early piece of the eighteenth century their monetary condition endured a progression of grievous inversions. As a result, a flood of maybe five thousand Scotch-Irish moved to America in 1717. Before the end of the eighteenth century, four more influxes of Scotch-Irish withdrew Ireland for America and a few hundred thousand Ulstermen settled in about each area of the English provinces.

From 1800 to 1916, Ireland and England’s relationship consisted of many controversies due to their different cultural and religious practices, and their different views on the rightful governmental authority and economic equality. Culturally, the Irish were more mythical, folky, and spoke different languages; the English looked at these under developed cultural characteristics and believed that the English culture was superior and that it was their duty to enforce their ideas, language, technologies, and hierarchy over the native Irish cultures.

It was not unheard of for each group to pack up and move every three to six days and travel as far as 200 miles each time. Also, as a result of their traveling lifestyles, they had a wide variety of languages and belief systems. Some learned to make weapons from the indigenous rocks and become hunters, while other chose to grown gardens and live off the land by other means. Each culture had a different way of chipping stones to make tools and weapons.

Individuals during this time often married young, and the majority were either in the lower classes consisting of small landholders or landless poor. Land was often divided up evenly to successors. In stark contrast to the pre-famine social structure found in Ireland, post-famine immigrants were usually those who wished to seek out a more premising life on their own. People married late or not at all, the majority of people fell into the social class of middling or strong farmers, and land was not divided evenly amongst successors, but rather there was a single heir chosen that was always the eldest son, (also known as the Primogeniture). Passing on land was not always a physical passing of property as many did not own their own land but were rather tenant farmers.

This complexity partly accounts for the close relationship between Catholicism, Irish nationalism and Irishness. In fact, Catholicism played an important role in “confirming the sense of national identity” (Brown). For this reason and for some peculiarities it had, the Catholicism practiced in Ireland has been defined by some scholars as “Irish Catholicism” (cf. Brown; Dowling; Jordan; McCaffrey)
