The old Western films show the Scots-Irish kin-centred mentality and touchy sense of honour perfectly.
The Scotch-Irish were mainly descended from southern Scots Presbyterians (Calvinists) who had settled for a time in Ulster and to a smaller extent from Northern English dissenting Protestants (Methodists,etc) of similar adventurous, authority-hating mentality.
The Scotch-Irish were influential in the Revolution against Britain and in later US industry and in the US Presidency.
Two of these pictures should help. I also edited my own in photoshop. The Republican Red-State/Democratic Blue-State division is featured in that picture. The darker colored is for the colonial 13. Red is for English colonies (i.e. pre-1707) and their diaspora states and the Union, before Confederate expansion. The Blue shows the original Confederate states, outward from the British colonies (i.e. post-1707), in the Confederate Constitution.
This shows truth in the Scottish origin of the rednecks in the Deep South, and they obviously expanded enough to influence the size of the CSA, although under the "slavery" premise. English are in all of America from the beginning, but Scots only became appended since the British Union, with the newer colonies here. That also explains their difference in standard of living, comparing England and perhaps the Anglo-Scottish Borders. Indeed, the Deep South is transitional between the rest of America and Canada, because Canada is wholly more Scottish in origin.
English Parliamentarians founded America, despite Southern Loyalism, and the Southerners are apparently cut off from their Nova Scotian brethren, Jacobites, the lot of them. The Democrats began with Andrew Jackson, a Scotch-Irishman from South Carolina, where the Civil War began. Jackson hated the deal between the Anglo-Saxon planters in the Federalist and Jeffersonian parties, which marginalized the Scottish component of the population by preferential treatment to the majority Anglo-Saxon population in Westward expansion.
The difference is England was invaded and developing out of nothing, Ireland was pretty much the same as it had been in the Iron Age but with additional Roman influences such as Christianity.
The dark ages in England were very brief compared to the dark age which would eventually befall Ireland for the next centuries. Ireland never did see a second golden age IMO.
Such as? Maybe on Skadi, but not many here. Northern Italy has been hugely important in European history, up there with France, England, Germany, Spain and some others, I think most here will acknowledge that.Quote:
LOL
At nazi internet fags claiming italians never accomplished anything. Ignorance reigns between them.
We have given the world Rome and Renaissance, and we are in 4th place in human accomplishments even if we couldn't count over a centralized and stable nation as other countries had.
Northern Italy is clearly included:

I read this several years ago. Murray is one of a handful of today's thinkers that I strive to read thoroughly.
He has done some good work but his geography is shakey as far as Italy is concerned.
The most productive Italian area on his map (in dark blue) is not just "Tuscany" as he had it but Tuscany and Emilia-Romagna too (the Bologna-Parma-Rimini area).
Bumping this thread for interest, also look at the correlation between concentrations within the European core and this map of individualism:

This website is better (and also includes data from Murray):
