COMMENT: Many Scots and Ulster Scots (Scotch-Irish) were involved in the Revolutionary War (19 April 1775 – 3 September 1783), with some historians referring to the conflict as a Presbyterian uprising. During the war, General George Washington stated "If defeated everywhere else I will make my last stand for liberty among the Scotch-Irish of my native Virginia". So you may well find one of your lot in there!
