The war between 1861 and 1865 was arguably just a continuation of the battles depicted in the movie "Braveheart."

The South, definitely including where I am in East Texas, was settled by and large by Scots-Irish folk. It became the dominant culture over that of the less numerous English in the region which became the Confederacy. The Scots-Irish previously had also served as slavemasters in the British Empire in such places as the West Indies. The English served more as the clerks in the counting houses, adding up the profits from the "dirty work" done by the Scots and their slaves in the actual island plantations.

The central part of Texas settled largely by the Germans voted overwhelmingly to remain in the Union, but were outvoted by places such as my county, which voted 9-1 to secede.

The North is dominated by folk of English, Dutch, German and Scandinavian ancestry. Whether it is because they have higher overall IQs than the Scots-Irish or whatever, there was never much doubt they would eventually win a war against the latter. Sam Houston knew this and that's no doubt one reason he sided with the Texans of German origin against secession, even though he himself was of Scots-Irish ancestry.

There is an excellent book about the various regions of this country and whose culture dominates each region called Albion's Seed.

The Scots-Irish are not "Irish." They are Scottish. The Irish part of the term comes from the fact so many of them were deported to Northern Ireland by the English/British.

I'll gently remind you, when casting such wide dispersions against Scots (Gaels), that it was the Gaels (Scots and Irish both) who, during the dark ages, had an almost universal literacy rate, as well as being the group in Europe that kept things like the ancient Greek language alive for future generations. As St. Patrick noted, you could speak Gael or Greek or maybe even Latin (or English) and have a fair chance of being understood by any random Gael you met on the street at the time. They (Irish: Gaels) had the only European culture that eschewed slavery from day one. They were the de facto depository for most of European literature and art while the rest of Europe went about slaying each other over god knows what or starving to death.

Then we talk Scots (Gaels):

William Wallace • Walter Scott • Alexander Graham Bell • Lulu • John Greig • James Watt • James McAvoy • Flora MacDonald • Donald Dewar • Mary I of Scotland • Ewan McGregor • Robert Burns • Deborah Kerr • Robert I of Scotland •Jackie Stewart • Charles Rennie Mackintosh • Billy Connolly • John Logie Baird • Saint Margaret of Scotland • Sean Connery • Alexander Fleming • ADAM SMITH

Now the Irish (Gaels as well):

Saint Brigid • Aidan of Lindisfarne • Brian Boru • Daniel O'Connell • Lady Morgan • Catherine Hayes • Augusta, Lady Gregory • George Bernard Shaw • Oscar Wilde • Robert Boyle • Jonathan Swift • James Joyce • Robbie Keane • Bob Geldof • Jonathan Rhys-Meyers • Pierce Brosnan • Enya

Lower IQ? I don't think so.

Being 'wild' and bucking English rule, as both the Scots and Irish were (and are) prone to do, did not make them less intelligent, it just made them more rebellious. It seems to me that bucking unjust authority instead of meekly accepting it IS a sign of intelligence and higher thinking.
