| Summary | "Scotland's Mark on America" by George Fraser Black is a historical account published in the early 20th century. The book focuses on the significant influence and contributions of Scots and those of Scottish descent in shaping American history and culture, particularly during the colonial period and the founding of the nation. It delves into the waves of Scottish migration to America and their resulting impact on American society, governance, and identity. The opening of the work includes a foreword that sets the stage for this exploration by discussing the Scots' distinct character and their commitment to their homeland while adjusting to life abroad. It underlines the Scots' contributions to American citizenship and society, emphasizing their role in both the Revolutionary War and the early establishment of American principles of liberty and governance. Moreover, the foreword highlights specific statistics regarding the Scottish population in early America, laying the groundwork for a deeper examination of their contributions throughout the subsequent chapters.
