Ted Kennedy

Mr. President, as we approach St. Patrick's Day, the thoughts of many turn to Ireland. More than 44 million Americans are of Irish ancestry. It is often erroneously assumed that the vast majority of Irish-Americans are Catholics. But at least half of the 44 million are Protestants, many of which are descendants of the ancestors of the present-day Protestant communities in Northern Ireland and Ireland.

Ted Kennedy

In the 1990 census, nearly 6 million Irish-Americans defined themselves as "Scotch-Irish" -- an American term which did not begin to be used widely until the mid-19th century. Most of Protestant immigration from Ireland occurred in the 18th and early 19th centuries, whereas the majority of the large number of Irish who arrived in the United States beginning in the mid-19th century at the time of the potato famine in Ireland were Catholic.

Ted Kennedy

The Scotch-Irish in America are descendants of the approximately 200,000 Scottish Presbyterians who settled in Ireland in the early 17th century. The modern Protestant majority in Northern Ireland are descendants of that Ulster Plantation.

Ted Kennedy

In the late 1600's, religious persecution of Scottish Presbyterians by England led some to leave Ulster and seek religious freedom in the American colonies. Many of these immigrants settled in the Chesapeake Bay area. One such immigrant, Francis Makemie, is the father of American Presbyterianism.

Ted Kennedy

The largest numbers of Scotch-Irish immigrants, about 250,000, left for the American colonies in the 18th century in the decades leading up to the Revolutionary War. They left Ulster less for religious than economic reasons, because of the decline in the linen industry, failed harvests, and high rents for tenant farmers. Many of these immigrants were so poor that they made their way to the colonies only by becoming indentured servants. The destination of the earliest of these immigrants was New England although many of these subsequently moved inland to the frontier. In "The Scotch-Irish and Ulster," Eric Montgomery writes of these immigrants:

The Log College was established to train Presbyterian ministers near Philadelphia in 1726 or 1727 by Scotch-Irish minister Rev. William Tennent, Sr. It developed close ties with the College of New Jersey, which was founded in 1746, and later became Princeton University.

Ted Kennedy

The impact of Scotch-Irish settlers on America was significant. Arthur Dobbs, a member of the Irish Parliament and a landowner from County Antrim, became Governor of North Carolina in 1753. Five signed the Declaration of Independence -- Thomas McKean, Edward Rutledge, James Smith, George Taylor and Matthew Thornton. John Dunlap of Strabane printed the Declaration and also founded the Pennsylvania Packet, the first daily newspaper in America.

Ted Kennedy

Large numbers of Scotch-Irish immigrants joined the fight for American independence. Irish volunteers performed so courageously in the Revolutionary Army that Lord Mountjoy told the British Parliament, "We have lost America through the Irish." Charles Thomson came to Pennsylvania as an indentured servant, and went on to serve as the Secretary of the Continental Congress from 1774 to 1789.

Ted Kennedy

Twelve Americans of Scotch-Irish ancestry became President of the United States. The fathers of Andrew Jackson, James Buchanan and Chester Alan Arthur were each born in Northern Ireland. And James Polk, Andrew Johnson, Ulysses Grant, Grover Cleveland, Benjamin Harrison, William McKinley, Woodrow Wilson, and Richard Nixon were all of Scotch- Irish ancestry. President Clinton's family tree has several Irish branches, and undoubtedly contains both Scotch-Irish and Catholic roots.

Ted Kennedy

The Scotch-Irish parents of John C. Calhoun emigrated to Pennsylvania and then moved to South Carolina. Born in 1782, he was elected to the House of Representatives from South Carolina at the age of 29, and went on to become Senator, Secretary of War, Secretary of State, and Vice President. As chairman of the Senate House Foreign Relations Committee in 1812, he introduced the declaration of war against Britain. His portrait is on the wall of the reception room adjacent to the Senate Chamber today, as one of the five greatest Senators in our history.

Ted Kennedy

Many other famous Americans are of Scotch-Irish descent. Sam Houston served as Governor of Tennessee before moving to Texas and leading the fight for Texas' independence from Mexico. Before Texas joined the Union, he served as the first President of the Republic of Texas and, after, as Governor. He was a staunch defender of the Union, but his efforts to keep Texas from seceding prior to the Civil War failed, and he was removed as Governor when he refused to take Texas out of the Union after the vote to secede.

Ted Kennedy

Stonewall Jackson was a descendent of Scotch-Irish immigrants from County Armagh. Davy Crockett was Scotch-Irish. Cyrus McCormick, inventor of the mechanical reaper, was given the French Legion of Honour by Napoleon, who described McCormick as "having done more for the cause of agriculture than any other living man." A successful businessman, active Democrat, and Presbyterian, he founded the McCormick Theological Seminary in Chicago.

Ted Kennedy

The Mellon family emigrated to Pennsylvania from County Tyrone in 1818. Thomas Mellon, a young boy at the time, became a successful lawyer, banker, and businessman in Pittsburgh. He founded what became the Mellon Bank, and was instrumental in the growth and development of Pittsburgh. His son, Andrew Mellon, served as Secretary of the Treasury for Presidents Harding and Coolidge. He helped found Gulf Oil, Alcoa, and the Union Steel Co., which later merged into the U.S. Steel Corp. He assembled one of the world's greatest art collections, established the National Gallery of Art, and donated his collection to the gallery where vast numbers of Americans enjoy it every year. Andrew's son, Paul, and other members of the Mellon family have carried on the family's business success and extraordinary philanthropy.

The Scotch-Irish have also been well-represented in the arts. Edgar Allen Poe, Stephen Foster, Horace Greeley, founder of the New York Tribune, and Harold Ross, founder of the New Yorker, were all Scotch- Irish.

Ted Kennedy

The majority of Irish-American Protestants today define themselves as "Irish," not "Scotch-Irish." By and large, the term "Scotch- Irish" fell into disuse over the years as discrimination against Catholics in this country declined.

Ted Kennedy

Immigrants to America from all parts of Ireland, whether Catholic or Protestant, have made brilliant contributions to the success of America. Those of us who are committed to a just and peaceful resolution of the conflict in Northern Ireland know that peace will only be achieved there when both traditions are treated equally and fairly, and when mutual respect and a good-faith political process replace bombs and bullets as the means for settling disputes.
