My great great great grandfather fought in the battle of Culloden, and was taken prisoner. He was first sentenced to death , but due to his age(he was only 15 at that time) his sentence was commuted to exile to the colonies. He was shipped to Virginia as an indentured servant to a plantation owner. After a year on the plantation he decided to run away to the Appalachian mountains, settling in what is today southwestern Virginia. That is way the name Lawson is so common in this part of the country.

I think Tennessee has a lot of areas settled the same way. A lot of customs in this area I simply don't understand, me being from northern Ohio, from an area settled by another set of indentured people from Germany and eastern Europe to work the Great Lakes Transport boats. When you think that most Americans have these kinds of family stories, that begin, "When my great great grandparent came here as an indentured servant," or as a slave for life for someone's profit, this tells us that the US was never founded on freedom. Especially not religious freedom. We were founded as a business deal, and we still are.

They charged me almost 100 and refused to accept a replacement- explaining that they have some super valueable stuff, and by charging an average no one gets stuck paying thousands.

I read a book a while back on the subject of the Highland Clearances. In the book, the author explains that the land was taken by Scottish landlords (clan chiefs) whose sons had been sent to England to study in the schools and universities. These sons felt more English than Scottish. They lost their connection to their own culture, and it was they who 'realised' that the land would be better used (more valuable) if sheep roamed on it instead of peasants. To make this happen, they had the small landowners evicted and pushed them to the coast where they were basically destitute. Once the people were removed to the coast, they were encouraged to get on the ships bound for the new world. The versions are similar except for the idea that it was Scottish landowners who did the removal and not powerful English people. Patrick Sellar and the Duchess of Sutherland, for example, were both Scottish. She was the head of the Sutherland clan. In your story, you keep saying it was the English who were doing the removal of the people of the Highlands, but it wasn't. I think it makes the story even more sinister to find out that it was Scottish people doing this to their own kin. I also read another thing were it talked about the clan chiefs rather suddenly demanding rent from their clan members where traditionally, the tenants would pay in kind. This was the beginning of the end of duthchas and a more commercial (modern) approach to landownership. So, all in all, I think it safe to say that the Scottish peasants were victims of their own Scottish landlords. Another point, poor people from England, Ireland and Scotland who traveled to the New World were almost always indentured servants when they arrived because they owed the fare of their crossing to those who had organised it. This was not something specific to the people of the Highlands.

I agree Anne. I’ve read a half dozen books about the Clearances, and I disagree strongly with the anti-English slant of this documentary. The ugly truth is the highlanders were betrayed almost exclusively by their own countrymen, whose lust for profits overcame their sense of decency and responsibility as clan or community leaders. And I say this as a descendant in Canada, who had reason to believe the “bastard English” myths and did, until I looked further into it. The English rural working class were dealing with similar problems at the same time, with the “Enclosures”.

Jiles, I really enjoy all of your videos but I feel that I must point out that the majority of the landowners who participated in the clearances were Scottish. There was a goundswell of opinion amongst the Scottish ruling class that the Highland Clan system and the Border Reiver Clans were detrimental to the future of Scotland and this can be seen in the Suppression of Unruly Clans Act of 1587 and the Statutes of Iona of 1609 the latter of which was perhaps the first step towards dismantling the Highland Clans solely. I've really enjoyed this video, partly because I'm a descendent of Highlanders and Reivers, but mainly because I appreciate the work that you put into your videos.

The suggestion that "at times parts of Ireland" became part of the United Kingdom after the 1707 Union with Scotland is also misleading. Since 1494, the English Parliament asserted supremacy over Ireland and, since 1542, the King of England was automatically the King of Ireland, although Ireland was technically a separate kingdom with its own parliament. Actual English control over Irish territory varied over the years. The 1798 Irish Rebellion led to the 1801 Act of Union between Great Britain and the Kingdom of Ireland and the Irish Parliament was abolished. From 1801 to 1922, the entirety of the island of Ireland was part of the United Kingdom. In 1922, as a result of the treaty ending the Irish War of Independence, Ireland was partitioned into a predominately Catholic and independent Free State (later Republic) in the south, with six (then predominately Protestant) counties in the north remaining part of the United Kingdom.

It was so early, and the creatures were used to make political decisions in their slaughter of land, to watch native species grow into extinction. These creatures and animals could have been saved, yet because of human vendetta, were brought to near extinction. It’s a histrionic death for both humans and animals. How damn inhumane, at a time when we desperately needed the diversity of species… it’s most certainly a horrific event… please listen and make comments. A tragic event…

The comment about Marx seeing the clearances as an example of "Capitalism run amuck" is silly. In the later chapters of 'Capital' Marx explains "So called Primitive Accumulation", and how the Scottish clearances were part of how early capitalism formed. In order to push them into situations and localities where capitalism needed wage labor to develop its further domination and strength, people had to be forced off of their lands where they did not live under a wage system. This was not a mere example of the evils of capitalism ("capitalism run amuck"), it was the systematic and intentional growth of capitalism. For further understanding I suggest '33 Lessons on Capital: Reading Marx Politically' by Harry Cleaver which begins mentioning the clearances towards the beginning of the book, it's an easy amd enjoyable read.

Sorry Jiles a I'm totally confused. James I didn't die in The Glorious Revolution, he sired Charles I, who sired Charles II and James II, and died of old age in his bed. I think you might be confusing him for his grandson James II, who ruled for three years after the restoration of the monarchy which saw the accession of his brother Charles II to the throne. Part of the reason England had it's civil war was to do with religion and James's II Catholicism is what got him replaced by William and Mary, his son-in-law and daughter.

I think a fee years ago, England gave Scotland the opportunity to be their own country. The Scots voted to stay with England. So, The Scots don't want independence. So Sorry for William Wallace

52% want to leave. This took fifteen seconds to look up. I don't know if you are British and maybe want to make a pro-British statement, or maybe not. Most Scotts want to be free of England.

The English then did something similar in New Zealand until our tribes united against them, but we still feel the effects today. I’m also part Scottish so it’s interesting to see how similar our cultures are.❤

Hate to be THAT person but there is a big error in the early narration of British history in this podcast, England annexed Wales in 1284 and enacted an act of union between those 2 countries in 1536, well before the act of union with Scotland. As a native born Welshman, believe me, the English have been effing us even longer than they have the Scottish!

He was quoting Karl Marx, who himself said “sheep’s” vs the plural sheep. Context matters 🤦🏼♀️

The Union did pretty much the same thing to the Confederate states during and after the Civil War. I guess humanity as an adjective in common parlance is diametrically opposed to its true meaning, which is to treat each other in the worst way possible.

Descent into Darkness did a fantastic video on this very topic. I was unfamiliar with it and it was heartbreaking what happened.

Thr whole country was screwed over with the enclosure act. At least Scotland has the right to roam in England we have zero rights and lost all our common land. Camping is illegal unless on land with express permission of the owner. Which they charge for.

This episode illustrates why my family history and my genetic history don't match. Displaced families took the names of other families to change their history or avoid further persecution. Others "chose" to come to this country to "work" for logging and mining companies as a way to start over. That makes us all inbred liars as a result and too proud to admit it.

The Scottish migration from that time, didn't stop till they hit California.
