My area, pretty much ground zero for slavery in the US. I have not
researched the reasoning, etc. behind that historical artifact, probably
because they wanted/needed jobs, there were jobs here, etc. Not sure if
they had any special talents for the job but I recall someone saying
that but don't remember the details. Will find out more.

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.
