Lowlands of Scotland should apologize for the Highland Clearances

England didn't care for Scotland. " That is a major error. If an part of England hated any part of Scotland, it was the north and the Midlands. Thank you, your arguments a good as well. If it is not hate what do you call it? I mean many English kings "Believe to be Scotland's overlord for many years. Where you could see this most is Edward the First treatment of Scotland. Only one thing is true though -- the north of England and the midlands didn't care for the Highlands of Scotland. That is true. But the south of England has done a lot for the world. Many modern goods we love came from southern English inventors. The first abolitionist society was made in London, established by many Anglicans. Another note: Winston Churchill was a northerner in ancestry. The Spencer family originated somewhere in the Midlands. The southerners were heavily against Churchill the warmonger. Neville Chamberlain, a well-loved guy, came from the south. Now it's true that some Lowlanders led Highland armies. But they were few. The Lowlands were extremely brutal and cruel against the Highlands. Once again I state that the same was done by the Highlanders to the Lowlanders. Look some of the great people who came out of the lowlands that benefited Scotland Alexander the second (the great) of Scotland and Sir Walter Scott. Alexander the second unified Scotland to make a better Scotland, unfortunately he did not get the Northern territories for Scotland, He invited the Gaelic warlords out from the cold (even though his family had kept them out in favor of a Norman future) , But this was the only way he could unify Scotland. For at the time it was spilt. And Sir Walter Scott helped by supporting Scotland in his writing, and trying so hard to crush uprising and help the monarchy to further Britain. Also saying that England was behind the empire is pretty much implying that the English are Anglo-Saxons and Nordic, which is far from true in the case of the south of England. The Lowlands of Scotland and northern and middle England were the main people behind the empire. It was also in the north of England that slavery was strongest, with the main slave port being in the Liverpool. England is defiantly behind the empire, Where is Westminster? Which is the most controlling. Which one is most associated with the empire? Clearly Westminster is in England and England was the most controlling, They were the ones that added Wales into their Kingdom, Ireland, and Scotland for sometime. Also England being the biggest and strongest is most associated with the empire. I'm sorry if this comes as a crush to your spirits, but no they are not the same people. Many Lowlanders I know are proud of things like the KKK, imperialism, the British Empire. So many of them who I talk to talk about how they were the best. Lowlanders descend from the very same cruel tyrants that rule in Denmark and Sweden and built their brutal empires. They descend from the very same people who were notorious for racism and KKK-style hatred. In the Lowlands of Scotland exists a guilty-before-proved-innocent system of law. Plus it was the Scots-Irish behind the KKK. They are the same people, and some Highlanders can be even more racist then the Lowlanders. going back to the Knight vs Wedderburn case that was in a Lowland court with Lowland judges and the best in Scotland. The only reason for slavery in Scotland was because it was a main source of profit. Today the though of racism are long gone we left that behind for the better of the country. It wasn't for profit. I don't believe classicism was a case. Anyone can support subjugating another race or ethnicity of people. That's what racism is. They sided with him because the majority of Lowlanders, and northern English were orthodox Christians, and had a "to hell with those who don't believe" attitude. It's not profit. The Lowlanders are the same as the Highlanders. How was it not for the profit, I think that if there was not profit in it they would have not need for slavery. They sided with him because they knew it was right. also the something happened with Somerset. They won sided with them because all British citizens are free and them living there makes them a British citizen and gives them freedom in any free country. . http://www.youtube.com... . http://www.youtube.com... . http://www.youtube.com... I say that the whole of the Lowlanders are to blame but all the BRITISH lords which evicted these people from their homes. Also the Highlanders are not innocent they have created plenty of problems and killed many Lowlanders. Unfortunately The Highlanders are not always the innocent ones . Also one thing that could prove my theory that if slaves were not needed for profit, Scotland would not use them, was John Wedderburn's treatment of Joseph Knight he treated him like a way ward son teaching him to read, write, and was kept in better conditions than the rest. The only reason Knight wanted to leave was because the girl he got pregnant (the maid) way because of his relation with him. She was white and he was black and he choose him over her. :)
