John Witherspoon in the independence movement. <\/p>\n<p>The text highlights the contributions of various Scottish and Scotch-Irish figures such as Witherspoon, Samuel davies, and james Caldwell, who inspired and supported the revolutionary cause through sermons, leadership, and symbolic acts like tearing pages from hymnbooks for wadding. It traces the roots of Scots in North America, from early merchants and settlers to waves of Ulster Scots and Highland Scots, who brought their military skills, independence, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/conservative-beauty-guru-to-launch-make-makeup-great-again-line\/\" title=\"Conservative Beauty Guru To Launch \u2018Make Makeup Great Again\u2019 Line\">religious beliefs<\/a>, shaping American culture and political thought.<\/p>\n<p>Prominent patriot Patrick Henry&#8217;s fiery advocacy for liberty exemplifies their influence, as does the recognition of their linguistic and cultural legacy in modern American speech.The article underscores how Scottish religious and cultural principles, emphasizing individual liberty and limited government, deeply informed the ethos of the American colonies\u2019 fight for independence.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the piece notes how European thinkers like Adam Smith foresaw the strength of the American rebellion, and how diverse groups-ranging from Catholics to <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >atheists-claimed common principles rooted<\/a> in Christianity and liberty during the revolution. It concludes by suggesting that the patriotic spirit embodied by those early Scots and Scotch-Irish americans remains a vital part of the nation&#8217;s heritage, urging modern Americans to remember and embrace that fighting spirit.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Two years after General George Washington crossed the Delaware River on Christmas night in 1776 and defeated the Hessian Army the following day in the Battle of Trenton, one of the officers of the German mercenaries serving the British Crown <a href=\"https:\/\/acrobat.adobe.com\/id\/urn:aaid:sc:US:57be8066-f17f-40fe-880b-abffdc6143e5\">is said<\/a> to have declared the Revolution was \u201cnot an American rebellion; it is nothing more or less than a Scotch-Irish Presbyterian rebellion.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That the defeated Hessian was not exaggerating is echoed by the fact that then-British Prime Minister Horace Walpole <a href=\"https:\/\/acrobat.adobe.com\/id\/urn:aaid:sc:US:57be8066-f17f-40fe-880b-abffdc6143e5?x_api_client_id=chrome_extension_viewer&#038;x_api_client_location=&#038;locale=en-US&#038;theme=light&#038;page_theme=light\">told<\/a> King George III and his cabinet that \u201cthere is no use crying about it. Cousin America has run off with a Presbyterian parson and that is the end of it!\u201d Walpole was likely referring to Rev. John Witherspoon, the Scots Presbyterian minister from New Jersey, who was the lone pastor to sign the Declaration of Independence.<\/p>\n<p>Witherspoon is by far the best-known of the many Scots and Scotch-Irish, who so influenced the laying of the groundwork for the revolution and then did much of the fighting that eventually won independence in 1781. In a May 1776 sermon, Witherspoon <a href=\"https:\/\/quod.lib.umich.edu\/e\/evans\/N12065.0001.001\/1:3?rgn=div1;view=fulltext&#038;utm_source=chatgpt.com\">appealed<\/a> that \u201cGod grant that in America true religion and civil liberty may be inseparable, and that the unjust attempts to destroy the one may, in the issue, tend to the support and establishment of both.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the same sermon, which went through nine printings and was read in London, Edinburgh, and throughout the colonies, he observed that \u201cthere is not a single instance in history in which civil liberty was lost, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/princeton-considering-removing-statue-of-its-former-president-and-influential-founding-father\/\" title=\"Princeton Considering Removing Statue Of Its Former President And Influential Founding Father\">religious liberty preserved entire<\/a>,\u201d and he declared that \u201cthe cause in which America is now in arms, is the cause of justice, of liberty, and of human nature.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rev. Samuel Davies, an influential Scots Presbyterian in Virginia, preached to multiple congregations there who dissented from the colony\u2019s established Anglican church. Davies died a decade or so before 1776 but <a href=\"https:\/\/discerninghistory.com\/2021\/09\/samuel-davies-apostle-to-virginia\/\">his influence<\/a> was such that Patrick Henry would later credit much of his own oratorial prowess to Davis. Like Witherspoon, Davies served a term as President of Princeton, itself founded to serve and strengthen the Presbyterian influence in the colonies.<\/p>\n<p>And it is no coincidence that the pastor who in revolutionary lore was said to have told his fellow patriot soldiers to \u201cGive\u2019em Watts, boys\u201d was <a href=\"https:\/\/insighttoincite.substack.com\/p\/give-em-watts-boys-the-story-of-reverend\">Rev. James Caldwell<\/a>, another Scots Presbyterian from New Jersey, who was referring to the Isaac Watts hymnbook used through Protestant churches of the day. The soldiers thus tore out pages of the book to use as wadding for their musket power and balls, as ordered by their Chaplain, the \u201cFighting Parson\u201d Caldwell. Caldwell was a graduate of Princeton where he studied under multiple Presbyterian lights.<\/p>\n<p>There are two basic reasons why these preachers, whose roots stretched back to the shores, lochs, and Highlands of Scotland, as well as the Scotch-Irish Ulstermen of Ireland, were so prominent in the decades leading up and in the war for independence.<\/p>\n<p>First, as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arthur-herman.com\/book\/how-the-scots-invented-the-modern-world\/\">Arthur Herman<\/a> explains in his \u201cHow the Scots Invented the Modern World,\u201d by the first decade of the 1700s, \u201cScottish merchants penetrated the Chesapeake Bay and the James, Potomac and Delaware rivers, and operated as far north as Boston. Scottish settlers started arrived as early as the 1680s and, as Britain\u2019s role in North America expanded, the Scottish presence grew with it.\u201d The Scots thus early on were ministers, farmers, doctors, lawyers, mechanics, teachers, tutors, and entrepreneurs in the settled coastal areas, especially in the Middle and Southern colonies.<\/p>\n<p>Those Scotsmen made up only the first wave. The second wave began with a group of Ulster Scots who, according to Herman, were in Worcester, Massachusetts in 1713 \u201cmuch in demand as Indian fighters and as a tough barrier between the English settlers and the wilderness.\u201d Up to a quarter of a million of such Ulster Scots transplanted from Ireland to America between 1713 and the opening years of the American Revolution.<\/p>\n<p>There was a third wave that came from the Scots Highlands beginning in 1729 along the Cape Fear River in North Carolina and then accelerating with the Argyll Colony in 1739. The Highland wave crested in the years after the defeat of the Jacobite Revolution that sought to restore the Stuart dynasty on the British throne.<\/p>\n<p>This Scots invasion intensified as the Revolution approached, with 3,500 of them, for example, arriving in Philadelphia just in the first two weeks of August 1773. They were fiercely independent, long and well-schooled in arms of all kinds, and, thanks to the enduring influence of the Scottish Kirk from the John Knox Reformation, convinced believers in the absolute sovereignty of God, the accountability of all Earthly rulers to God\u2019s law, and the liberty of every man and woman to live their lives according to how they understood Holy Scripture, without having any higher human authority telling them otherwise. For such folks, what Jesus meant when He said to \u201crender unto Caesar what is Caesar\u2019s and to God what is God\u2019s,\u201d He meant Caesar\u2019s job was mainly to maintain peace and order.<\/p>\n<p>And they tended to be restless, moving with some frequency and almost always further west into the Appalachian regions and beyond, deep into the Eastern interior of the North American continent. Thus, their cultural influence was widespread and, especially in much of the agricultural Middle Atlantic and throughout the South, decisive even up to the modern era, as seen in the language heard now daily.<\/p>\n<p>To cite just a few mentioned by Herman, when people today say \u201cwhar\u201d instead of \u201cwhere,\u201d \u201cthar\u201d rather than \u201cthere,\u201d \u201cwider\u201d for \u201cwidow\u201d and \u201cyoung\u2019uns\u201d in place of \u201cyoung ones,\u201d they speak the language of the Scots, especially those from Ireland and Lowland Scotland. Two more examples are especially revealing, as the term \u201credneck\u201d was originally used by Scots to describe a Presbyterian, and \u201ccracker,\u201d from the Scots word \u201ccraik\u201d for talk, referred to a loudmouth or braggart.<\/p>\n<p>Patrick Henry\u2019s immortal words of \u201cGive me Liberty or Give me Death\u201d were uttered as the roar of cannon and the spilling of British, Hessian, and colonial blood was soon to begin in earnest, delivered on March 23, 1775, at St. John\u2019s Church in Richmond in a soaring call to the colonies to fight for their liberties. None who heard Henry that day could be surprised as he had for more than a decade been among the most vocal advocates for resistance to the British Crown.<\/p>\n<p>In the Stamp Act controversy, for example, it was Henry <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hillfaith.org\/faith-of-the-founders\/faith-of-the-founders-patrick-henry-on-the-necessity-of-virtue-for-freedom\/\">who said<\/a> of measures passed in 1765 by the Virginia colonial legislature condemning the hated law, \u201cwhether they will prove a blessing or a curse will depend on the use which our people make of the blessings, which a gracious God hath bestowed on us. If they are wise, they will be great and happy. If they are of a contrary character, they will be miserable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>None of this went without notice in the home country. It was another Scot who saw never set foot in the colonies, but who nevertheless envisioned what could be the result. In his \u201cWealth of Nations,\u201d Adam Smith <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adamsmith.org\/blog\/international\/adam-smith-on-us-independence\/\">wrote<\/a> in 1775:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cThey are very weak who flatter themselves that, in the state to which things have come, our colonies will be easily conquered by force alone. The persons who now govern the resolutions of what they call the Continental Congress, now feel in themselves at this moment a degree of importance, which perhaps the greatest subjects in Europe scarce feel.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrom shopkeepers, tradesmen and attorneys, they are become statesmen and legislators, and are employed in contriving a new form of government for an extensive empire, which, they flatter themselves, will become, and which indeed seems likely to become, one of the greatest and most formidable that ever was in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>This is all not to say the American Revolution was entirely the product of Scots Presbyterian theology, political applications of that theology, and the impassioned culture and temperament associated with Scotland, but it is difficult to envision how the Declaration of Independence could have been conceived, written, and proclaimed without such influence.<\/p>\n<p>As John Adams <a href=\"https:\/\/christianheritagefellowship.com\/john-adams-on-the-christian-origin-of-america\/?utm_source=chatgpt.com\">wrote<\/a> to his old ally and opponent, Thomas Jefferson, in a letter of 1813, the Revolution\u2019s body consisted of \u201cRoman Catholics, English Episcopalians, Scotch and American Presbyterians, Methodists, Moravians, Anabaptists, German Lutherans, German Calvinists, Universalists, Arians, Priestleyans, Socinians, Independents, Congregationalists, Horse Protestants and House Protestants, deists and atheists. \u2026 Very few however of several of these species. Nevertheless, all educated in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/lawmakers-reintroduce-bill-to-abolish-qualified-immunity-for-police\/\" title=\"Lawmakers Reintroduce Bill to Abolish Qualified Immunity for Police\">general principles<\/a> of Christianity, and the general principles of English and American liberty.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But when Witherspoon and his fellow signers of the Declaration mutually pledged \u201cour lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor,\u201d it was with a spirit that recalled this promise from the Scots signers of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.historyfiles.co.uk\/FeaturesBritain\/Medieval_TextArbroath01.htm\">Declaration of Arbroath<\/a> in 1320 declaring that \u201cas long as but a hundred of us remain alive, never will we on any conditions be brought under English rule. It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honors that we are fighting, but for freedom \u2014 for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Americans celebrating our nation\u2019s 250th anniversary would do well to recapture that same spirit.<\/p>\n<div><em>Mark Tapscott is senior congressional analyst at The Washington Stand.<\/em><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f7f7f7; color: #171717; display: flex;font-size: 16px;font-weight: 600;line-height: 1.5;margin: 24px 0;padding: 18px 20px 18px 30px;text-align: left;\">\n<div style=\"align-self: stretch;border-left: 3px solid #171717;flex-shrink: 0;padding-left: 20px;\"><\/div>\n<p><a style=\"text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/preferences\/source?q=https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/\">Choose The Western Journal as your preferred source on Google and never miss reporting that defends truth, protects freedom, and advances Western civilization<\/a><\/div>\n<p style=\"border: 1px solid #f5f5f5; padding: 16px;\">Advertise with The Western Journal and reach millions of highly engaged readers, while supporting our work. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/advertise-us\/?wj_source=article\">Advertise Today<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div style=\"position: relative;\">\n<div class=\"ff-fancy-header-container\"> \t\t\t \t<\/div>\n<div class=\"entry-submit-correction inner-content\">\n<div class=\"correction-form\">\n<form style=\"display: none;\">\n<div class=\"sc-name-field\"> \t\t\t\t\t\t<label>* Name<\/label> \t\t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"name\" required> \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"sc--field\"> \t\t\t\t\t\t<label>* <\/label> \t\t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"\" required> \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p> \t\t\t\t\t<label>* Message<\/label> \t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t<textarea name=\"message\" required><\/textarea> \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"required-message\" style=\"display: none; padding-bottom: 15px;\">* All fields are required.<\/div>\n<p> \t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"submit\" value=\"Submit\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault(); firefly_sc();\"> \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"firefly-sc-confirm\" style=\"display: none;\">Success!<\/div>\n<\/p><\/form>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> \t\t<script> \t\t\tfunction firefly_sc() { \t\t\t\tif( typeof window.captchaPublicKey == typeof undefined ){ \t\t\t\t\tconsole.error('window.captchaPublicKey is not defined'); \t\t\t\t} \t\t\t\tgrecaptcha.execute( window.captchaPublicKey, { action: 'submit_correction' } ).then( function( token ) { \t\t\t\t\tvar opts = { \t\t\t\t\t\taction:    'firefly_sc_submit', \t\t\t\t\t\tname:      document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"name\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\t:     document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tmessage:   document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"message\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tpost_id:   firefly_post_id, \t\t\t\t\t\tcap_token: token \t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\tvar inputs = [ 'name', '', 'message' ];  \t\t\t\t\tfor( var i = 0; i < inputs.length; i++ ) if( !
