Table of Contents To the 25 million Americans with Scottish roots, it should come as no surprise that Scots have made a remarkable contribution to the history of the United States of America. From the moment Scots began to settle America they made their mark. They were some of the first teachers, doctors and ministers, and they brought Scottish Enlightenment ideas to the New World, influencing literature, education and the arts and helping to shape the Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution. As pioneers and frontiersmen they paved the way for settlement in the American west, and as captains of industry they transformed America's economy into the most powerful in the world. Informative and concise, this is a fascinating tale of how a small nation had a disproportionate influence on one of the biggest countries in the world.
