Ah, ah, We come from the land of the ice and snow, From the midnight sun where the hot springs blow. The hammer of the gods Will drive our ships to new lands, To fight the horde, singing and crying: Valhalla, I am coming! On we sweep with threshing oar, Our only goal will be the western shore. Ah, ah, We come from the land of the ice and snow, From the midnight sun where the hot springs blow. How soft your fields so green, Can whisper tales of gore, Of how we calmed the tides of war. We are your overlords. On we sweep with threshing oar, Our only goal will be the western shore. So now you'd better stop and rebuild all your ruins, For peace and trust can win the day Despite of all your losing. |

As a descendant of, according to genealogy and census records, a mixture of English, Scottish, French, Germans, various American Indian tribes, and generic "black," for my coat of arms...
A man, holding a sword in one hand and bearing a shackle upon the other, dressed in armor and rags, with one foot in a sandal and the other wearing a jackboot which is planted firmly upon his own neck. Yup. Pure-bred American mutt, and proud of it. I'd demand reparations, but it'd come out of my own bank accounts anyway.

Quote HistorySame, it seems every single one of my ancestors was on the losing end of one conflict or another. One a British naval officer fighting AGAINST the USA during the revolution, another from Clan MacDonald losing with the Jacobites, another an artillery NCO on the Confederate side, the list goes on.

irish monument new orleans new basin canal
Monument to the Irish who built the New Basin Canal, on the former site of the canal in Lakeview (Photo courtesy of Eileen Za) The New Basin Canal became less important economically in the 20th Century, and the city filled it in after World War II. There is a memorial out on the long green “neutral ground” between Pontchartrain and West End Boulevards in Lakeview — a Celtic cross honoring the men who gave their lives digging the canal The New Basin Canal — Simply put, the New Basin Canal would never have been built were it not for the Irish. It extended through Lakeview, through Mid-City, ending at a turning basin at S. Rampart St. and Howard Avenue. Construction of the canal began in 1831. Because the land between the city and the lake was, for the most part, mosquito-infested swamps, the canal’s investors could not contract with slave owners for labor. The owners of slaves knew there would be a good chance their slaves would contract yellow fever or malaria, and dying slaves were not profitable. The Irish were coming off the ships in large numbers, and had no work. They took the canal-building jobs. Large numbers of them did get sick and die; estimates range from four to thirty thousand men lost. The deaths didn’t discourage the Irish, as they had nothing to return to back home. Upon its completion in 1838, the New Basin Canal became an important part of New Orleans’ commercial success for the rest of the 19th Century.

First, there was no monolithic "400 year" struggle. We're talking about a lot of different ethnicities, many of whom were fighting among each other. Second, the thing that wiped out the indians were microbes. Although, Europeans did a pretty damn good job at genocide too. |

Half Scottish. Half German.
History shows that the Scots upset Roman Empire conquest of the British Isle so badly that the Romans gave up and built a wall all the way from east coast to west coast, and said "you Scots stay on your side, we'll stay on our side, and let's just leave each other alone." History shows that the Germans managed to convince the Roman Empire in 9 AD to stop trying to invade and conquer Germania when they cost them three entire Roman Legions in the Battle of Teutoberg Forest. So, as I used to tease the full-blooded Italian woman at my last place of employment, my ancestors made their bones 2000 years ago by being among the few to lay claim to kicking the shit out of the Roman Empire's legions.

"He died like an idiot
After his own scouts warned him of a massive indian encampment, he decided to use his 600 men to attack an enemy force of 11,000. Crazy Horse and Sitting Bull wiped out an arrogant idiot. That's all." They went down fighting, too. Like the British and Zulu at Roark's Ridge, it was a meeting of warriors that ended in defeat for one of them. |
