      (Fun fact: Frederick Douglass took the advice of a white friend when picking a new surname after escaping from slavery, and his friend picked "Douglass" from one of the warring clans in Sir Walter Scott's The Lady of the Lake)

      (He did not know until years later that his friend was, in fact, spelling it wrong, and the characters in the book had the more common spelling "Douglas" But by this time he was already published under the name "Douglass" and it seemed too late to change it)

      The Lady of the Lake is a fascinating book just for how wildly popular it was with Americans during a certain time period It inspired Frederick Douglass' last name, the "presidential hymn" of "Hail to the Chief", and the Ku Klux Klan's practice of burning crosses

      It's like, both poles and the institutional center of American racial conflict during this time period were heavily marked by identification with this one weird piece of romanticized Scottish nostalgia

      Isn't the Klan super racist against the Scottish?

      They hated the Irish as part of their hatred and distrust of Catholicism, I don't think they felt that way about the Scots -- a lot of the South has Scottish or "Scots-Irish" (ethnically Scottish Protestants from Ireland) blood

      Mmh, I may have been thinking of the Know-Nothings, or America First, or the John Birch Society? It's hard keeping the random nativist jerks separate in my head sometimes.

      In general those people's hatred of the Irish was focused on the Catholicism part (The Know-Nothings were the ones who shut down the building of the Washington Monument by raiding the site to steal the stone donated to it by the Vatican and throwing it in the Potomac)

          Anyway, looking it up, cross-burning wasn't really originally a thing during the OG postwar Klan in the South The author of the novel The Clansman made up that they used the "ancestral call to arms of the Scottish clans" to make them sound cooler in 1905

          Then DW Griffith put it in his movie, then Birth of a Nation helped spark the creation of the 20th century "New Klan", and then it became an actual thing This is why movies are bad

          I thought some groups also had intense, generalized anti-immigrant sentiment.

          Well sure But they thought of Scottish and English immigrants differently than "genuinely foreign" ones
