A cultural geographic view on Scots-Irish emigration from Ulster to the Bible Belt Drawing insights from geography, history, social psychology, sociology, and theology, Barry Aron Vann investigates the ways in which Scottish Calvinism affected the sense of identity and the migrations of native Scots first to Ulster and then to the American South. Social and religious historians have conducted much research on Scottish colonial migrations to Ulster; however, there remains historical debate as to whether the Irish Sea in the seventeenth century was an intervening obstacle or a transportation artery. Vann presents a geographical perspective on the topic, showing that most population flows involving southwest Scotland during the first half of the seventeenth century were directed across the Irish Sea via centuries-old sea routes that had allowed for the formation of evolving cultural areas. As political or religious motivational factors presented themselves in the last half of that century, Vann holds, the established social and familial links stretched along those sea routes facilitated chain migration that led to the birth of a Protestant Ulster-Scots community. Vann also shows how this community constituted itself along religious and institutional rubrics of dissent from the Church of England, Church of Scotland, and Church of Ireland. Within a century of the birth of this "Ulster-Scots Land," five immigration waves to America served as conduits for diffusing significant elements of that culture to the upper American South, where the Scots-Irish presence helped to form the cultural area referred to as the Bible Belt. The resulting effects of this settlement are still observed in both public and private spaces. It is from this lineage that families including the Adairs, Grahams, Seviers, Crocketts, Voiles, Duncans, Boones, Morgans, McKarneys, McKameys, Collins, and Rogerses spilled over the Appalachian Mountains to establish communities that still bear their mark. Vann maps this significant portion of the South's ethnic mosaic to show the genesis of the educational, political, and religious institutions that stem from Ulster Scots' thought worlds. With such deeply ingrained values, the southern Scots-Irish have influenced the region's staunchly conservative belief system, political ideology, and landscapes. .
