The idea of Britain has been understood largely in terms of sectarian conflict and state formation, whereas emigration has most often been explored in terms of economic and social history. This book explores the relationship between two subjects normally studied in isolation, and includes emigration from Ireland as a social phenomenon which cannot be understood in isolation from modern British History, as well as the impact of British emigration on the ethos and identity of the British Empire at its zenith at the turn of the Nineteenth and Twentieth centuries.

Clan MacDuffie was one of the earlier clans in Scotland. A number of these early MacDuffies immigrated to America. The first McDuffie to settle in the Carolinas was Daniel McDuffie (also known as McFee) who owned land on Carver's Creek in Bladen County, North Carolina in 1740. He had a son named John McDuffie, who owned land on what was then called McDuffie's Creek in Bladen County. He was the father of at least six children. Descendants live in North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Florida.
