The Scottish military tradition that persists in the US is that we enlist when needed,and throw everything we have at the job at
hand, and attempt to get back home to loved ones in some semblance of sanity. AND we offer frequent prayers for peace.

On the subject of ethnicity in the colonies, there was a substantial Scottish presence in the South. Highland Scots tended to be
Loyalist, but some looked for a change. Probably the greatest single Scottish military influence in the South was Lt. Col.
Archibald Campbell, whose style of campaigning so outraged the colonists in Georgia, mostly Loyalist or neutral to that point,
that they joined or formed militias to fight for independence. This shortly led to the battle at Kettle Creek, which broke Crown
dominance in Georgia, and many of those same men fought at Cowpens and Kings Mountain.
