Die Migrationsrouten aus Großbritannien, die das frühe Amerika prägten

Why is Scotland excluded?

I left America in 2018 and I’m very glad I did. If an afterlife exists, I’m going to scream at my ancestors for moving there in the first place.

Do Pennsylvanians have an obsession with chippy teas and reasonable prices by any chance?

I saw an article where somebody argued that many of the political differences, at least in the eastern states, can be traced back to the original migrants from the UK (and other successive waves from elsewhere, of course, but that there are lingering effects to this day).

So “migration routes from Britain to America” is a picture of Britain with arrows that say “to America”?

How insightful

Why is Ireland included when the title clearly says „Britain“

I’m pretty sure this is based on the book [Albion’s Seed by David Hackett Fischer](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albion's_Seed) and I don’t know how much it’s genuinely based on data about the movements of people versus some generalizations about culture and language.

If this is accurate then a lot of features of the source and destination locations make sense, even if some similarities (like for industrialization) would have only emerged after independence.

-SE England to New England: “old money” in their own ways (see reply below), higher education, emphasis seafaring in regional history 

-Northern England to Pennsylvania/Midwest: Working class industry and farming communities, higher than average organized labor participation (industrial similarity also developed after independence)

-Southern Scotland/North of Ireland to Appalachia: Probably the most well known (at least stateside) with certain cultural features retained still today, though I’m not sure Scotland and the North of Ireland have the same unfortunate “it’s poor/druggy” connotation

I’m not as familiar with SW England/Cornwall or Welsh connotations but for Virginia/Lowland South, at least from my US northeast perspective, I think they’re known for being culturally laid back, politically conservative outside NOVA, and having good food? I should know better since I have family down there but need to visit more; do any of those features like up with SW England, Cornwall, or Wales? 

Estou North america*

What’s crazy is that my mum (from London area) immigrated in 1986 to the US, and she also ended up in New England.

Almost complete BS. All these ‘sources and settlement’ of USA are based on self identification (not DNA or even rigorous genealogy). It’s just like people in Eastern England claiming to be Viking descendants – the DNA evidence shows it’s mostly BS.

so people from the rest of ireland didn’t migrate to the US like the ones from northern ireland, way before northern ireland was even a thing?

Damn. None of them going to New York or New Jersey.

For the Scottish, they mainly settled in the Appalachian Mountains because it reminded them of home. Which was correct because technically the Scottish mountains and the Appalachian Mountains are connected I believe.

It’s a strong thesis with lots of support going back to works published in the 90s at least, but if nothing else, take it in aggregate.

It doesn’t mean nobody from another British region showed up anywhere else.

My DNA test says that my ancestors from the UK came exactly from the spots marked to my area. Adds up.

So the Dixie people are celts? They aren’t even anglo saxon so WASP is false?

Imagine the horror when I explained to a Scottish friend newly immigrated the US who the hillbillies came from.

Appalachia tracks.

Where is this data from? This actually tracks for what I have found about in genealogical forums on my surname.

No erupean swallow route?
