Yes, I find it surprising that nobody ever mentions the large Scottish influence on our nation. It is always about "English, English, English", yet so many of the colonial governors were Scots, and half of the men who signed the Declaration of Independence had Scottish ancestry. Sadly, so many Americans think Scots are English people, and it then gets confusing using that line of faulty logic.
