Scots Irish were imported to this area to run the plantations and be
the overseers of the slaves. Buckras. They seemed to have some
sort of affinity or background in that role but I forget what it
was. Apparently a lot of them came over to do that.

Oh! I thought you were saying the Scots were imported into Ireland
to oversee the slaves there. I was a little surprised at the use of
the term slaves, because the Scots and Brits never used that term for
the Irish, although that is essentially what happened.
Then I figured out you were referring to this country. Yes, the
Scots form Ireland had an certain affinity or background for
overseeing slaves.
