Later the Rednecks/Convenators were represented in William III army by the The 26th Regiment of Foot....
The 26th Regiment of Foot was an infantry regiment of the British Army (1689). It was raised as the Cameronian Guard in 1688 by the Lords of the Convention and named after the followers of Richard Cameron. The following year it entered British service under King William III and on 21 August 1689 defeated Jacobite forces at the Battle of Dunkeld, a turning point in the Jacobite rising of that year.[1] Although the regiment took the name of its first colonel as The Earl of Angus's Regiment, it became popularly known as The Cameronians until 1751, when it was ranked as the 26th Foot. The regiment was known as the 26th (Cameronian) Regiment until 1881, when it merged with the 90th Regiment of Foot to form The Cameronians (Scottish Rifles).
Because of its origins in a religious movement, the regiment issued bibles to all of its new soldiers as part of their kit, a tradition that continued after amalgamation. Also, The Cameronians (Scottish Rifles) were the only regiment in the British Army that carried their weapons into church. This was a tradition that started in the Covenanter days when the Covenanters posted armed pickets at the beginning of worship services to keep a lookout for foes. The tradition continued until the regiment disbanded.
This would be Low Land Scots (Convenators) fighting High Land Scots (Gaelic speeking peoples who would later identify themselves as Celtic peoples). Here is a direct link showing that these peoples, who would later be the prominent culture in the Southern United States, fought against the "Celts" and would later idolized men like Lord Cumberland who crushed the last Highland army at the Battle of Culloden, April 16, 1746.
Here is more proof that Southern Culture is NOT based on Celtic culture but on the peoples who fought against it.
