Scotch Irish Immigration

Scotch-Irish Immigration in America Immigration into America has shaped and molded us into who we are today. Without groups such as the Scotch-Irish, English, Dutch, etc. America would not be the great melting pot that it has now become. Each of these cultures brought with them a sense of religion, culture and spirit. They took a chance to better themselves, leaving everything that was remotely comfortable in their life behind, bringing with them great hope …

…hope. And for that I commend them for their bravery and for trying to better the lives of future generations. Works Cited Burke, Edmund. European Settlements in America, Vol ii p 216.
