I think it is incorrect to describe the Scots-Irish as refugees. They mostly had some capital, didn't they? Also, I think that Albion' Seed suggested that the Scots-Irish emigration was much outnumbered by the entirely Scots emigration.

I have read a book that is considered an update on it, called Eleven Nations by Colin Woodward. I am curious as to what percentage were out of Ulster vs. from the borderlands.
