America's First Frontier.... Now at the approach of the 18th century, America was beginning to grow both in population and by means of expanding land. There was a rush of "Ulster Protestants" (Scotch-Irish) who were forced of out trade in Great Britain. As a result, they sought farming as their new profession. Many people in this group moved westward to find land in the New World. They ended up in states like Pennsylvania, New Hamshire, and Vermont. Soon, thousands of Irish and Scotch protestants migrated to America. Some went west; others went south where land was found to be extremely cheap or free. This included states such as North Carolina, Kentucky, and Tennessee. As it turns out, these migrators were the forefathers of men like Daniel Boone, Davy Crockett, James K. Polk, Andrew Jackson, Jefferson Davis, and many others who were soon to become great men in America's history.
