I've never been a huge fan of Albion's Seed, or at least the way every reader of the book interprets it. For a while Sailer/Khan have taken to calling practically all the old whites of the South "Scotch-Irish", whereas they were never more than 20% of the people of any colony:pic.twitter.com/OEerWlQYvG

More accurate to call them borderers, no? Most of the English, Scottish, and Scotch-Irish came from southern Scotland/Northern England. Scotch-Irish is used as a sort of catch-all probably because it isn't as defined as Scot/Eng/Ulsterman to the layman.

In fact, the focus on the scotch Irish as a culture is more of an outgrowth of African-American studies, due to their disproportionate effect on current black culture.

Most Irish and Scottish immigrants were Borderers, not only Scotch-Irish. Catholic Irish didn't start coming until the 1840s. Almost every protestant Irish-American, especially in the South, is a Borderer.

This was a surname analysis, not one of emigrant departures. The Irish last names here are those of the old Gaelic speaking population, although you are probably right about their religious affiliations.

J. Henrich (2019) observed that 1790 (!) Census of southern US counties shows high correlation of % Scots-Irish to homicide rates EVEN 200 years later. Attributes it to intense clan socialization driving honor-bound murders. Page 111 of The WEIRDest People. Cites Grosjean 2011.
