The Scots-Irish migrated to America for economic opportunities and religious freedom.
The Scots-Irish migration to America in the 18th century was driven by economic hardships and religious persecution in their homeland. Many sought better economic prospects, including the promise of available land in the American colonies. Additionally, some were escaping religious discrimination, particularly Presbyterian Scots-Irish who faced challenges in practicing their faith in Ireland and sought greater religious freedom in the New World. This combination of economic incentives and the desire for religious liberty played a significant role in their decision to migrate.
