Okay, thanks. It sounds kind of like the ethnic rivalries between the English and the Celtic inhabitants of the British Isles ( Highland Scots, Manx, Irish, Welsh and Cornish). They had been killing each other for centuries, despite a moderate amount of intermarriage ( in such a small area, this mingling can only be expected) between the ethnicities. The motivations were generally political and religious.. the English wanted extra land and the others didn't want an English presence or governance over their lands. In America, the differences counted for less, although in the very early days, some degree of separation between the races was maintained. I suppose your respective lands were a lot more vast, so you could more successfully maintain your distance from opposing powers. That's sort of how I might see it, but I'm speaking from a different perspective, I guess. Thank you both so much for explaining some of this to me.
