Presbyterians are people of Scottish and Irish descent who become the most famous migration group. Presbyterians also called the Irish diaspora, who migrated to America, one of their destinations is Philadelphia, between 250,000 and 500,000 people around 1700-1820.  

EXPLANATION  

As nomads, the Irish Scots first migrated from the Scottish Lowlands to Ulster in the seventeenth century based on English orders. The British government wanted them to act as Protestant colonizers among native Catholics of Ireland. After 1700, they were faced with difficult economic conditions and increased religious and political persecution.

In 1798 there was an uprising led by Irish Protestants and Catholics who wanted to overthrow the British government and establish a new republic. Yet the revolt failed, which later caused the British acted hard against this resistance. This finally forced them to migrate.

After the incident, Scottish-Irish migrated to America. Most of them migrated and worked as servants. They came in two big waves at the harbor of New Castle, Delaware, and Philadelphia. The first wave came between 1710 and 1776. The second wave arrived between 1780 and 1820.

After nearly a century of migration, these Irish Scots became one of the largest non-British ethnic groups in Pennsylvania. They occupied about 25 percent of Philadelphia's population and 15 percent of the state's population in 1790. Their voices were quite influential.

The immigrant group that was primarily Presbyterian was the Scotch – Irish immigrants. They did much to make its presence strong especially in Philadelphia. Hence the rise of the first presbytery in 1706, named the Presbytery of Philadelphia. It aimed to promote discipline and fellowship among members which later on developed into a governing body.

I. Introduction

In the 1760s, Benjamin Rush, a native of Philadelphia, recounted a visit to Parliament. Upon seeing the king’s throne in the House of Lords, Rush said he “felt as if he walked on sacred ground” with “emotions that I cannot describe.”1 Throughout the eighteenth century, colonists had developed significant emotional ties with both the British monarchy and the British constitution. The British North American colonists had just helped to win a world war and most, like Rush, had never been more proud to be British. And yet, in a little over a decade, those same colonists would declare their independence and break away from the British Empire. Seen from 1763, nothing would have seemed as improbable as the American Revolution.


The Revolution built institutions and codified the language and ideas that still define Americans’ image of themselves. Moreover, revolutionaries justified their new nation with radical new ideals that changed the course of history and sparked a global “age of revolution.” But the Revolution was as paradoxical as it was unpredictable. A revolution fought in the name of liberty allowed slavery to persist. Resistance to centralized authority tied disparate colonies ever closer together under new governments. The revolution created politicians eager to foster republican selflessness and protect the public good but also encouraged individual self-interest and personal gain. The “founding fathers” instigated and fought a revolution to secure independence from Britain, but they did not fight that revolution to create a “democracy.” To successfully rebel against Britain, however, required more than a few dozen “founding fathers.” Common colonists joined the fight, unleashing popular forces that shaped the Revolution itself, often in ways not welcomed by elite leaders. But once unleashed, these popular forces continued to shape the new nation and indeed the rest of American history.
