Scotland and the Klan background

Scotland and the Klan

Scotland's cultural, historical, and societal ties have profoundly influenced the development of modern American identity, shaping the nation's values and traditions.

Scotland has exported many great things to the world, including ideas and energy that have had a significant impact on America. While Scots are often credited with shaping the concept of the American Dream, could they also have played a role in America's racist past? Neil Oliver explores this question by examining the links between racism in the Deep South and the Scottish settlers who first occupied the region.
