Actually the followers of some politicians in Mississippi were called rednecks also, because the used a red handkerchief in their neck also... probably owing their own scottish roots... also a rebellion in west virginia used the same red handkerchief in their neck against northern corporations

The majority of the irish people was roman catholic and remained loyal to King James II Stuart by supporting the jacobites against the orangist irish protestants of King William III and Queen Mary II...
And much of the scotish nobility also remained loyal jacobites considering the Stuarts their rightful sovereigns instead of William III...
And later they rebelled several times against George I and the Brunswick-Hannovers which they considered to be usurpers continuing to support the return of the Stuarts to the throne from their exile in the european mainland namely King James II's son Prince James (the Old Pretendant),
and both his grandsons "Bonnie" Prince Charles (the Young Pretendant) and the Cardinal Prince Henry Benedict until the late 1700's...
