We ask that the United States establish a Scottish-American History Month in light of the many inestimable contributions made to the building, defense, and culture of this nation by Scottish immigrants and their descendants. Nine of the signers of the Declaration of Independence were of Scottish origin, as was Betsy Ross. Eighteen prominent members of the Scottish colony of Darien, Georgia, settled in 1736, signed the first petition against the introduction of slavery into Georgia, which deferred slavery there for a decade. Half of our presidents have some Scottish ancestry, including Barack Obama. The history of Scottish-Americans is the history of the United States of America, and one month out of the year in celebration will allow that history to be better known and appreciated.

    • This being a big year in Scotland it would not only look good for America to establish this long over due gesture, it would strengthen the pride and loyalty of all Scottish Americans!
