Angie: Thanks for the thumbs-up. I'm not trying to be contrary, just practical about human nature. Let me say a word or two about the Scots however. Having graduated from the School of Scots History as taught by Doc M Gilchrist, who's way smarter than I am, I'd like to make a few statements. Not all Scots hated England. It might be argued that the Scots who emmigrated to the colonies had a grudge, (I don't know about that group) but in general it was only about 1/4 of the Scot population who were Jacobites or who were demonstrably anti-England. I think the movie "Braveheart", which was second only in bogus history to Patriot, has reinforced a view in this country that all Scots were always at war with all English, and it just wasn't so. If you break down the British Army during the Rev, a clear 1/4 of the officers and men were Scots. And they weren't forced! I am not speaking of the Scots Irish. That's a whole different kettle of fish. Holley
