Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This highly readable survey of the history of Scots in the United States covers a great deal of territory: 'The impact of North America on life and work in Scotland has been immense, from the early eighteenth century when the union of the Scottish and English parliaments legalised trade between Scotland and the American colonies, to the present day / (p.3). Chapter One, ' I Should Like To Be An American/ deals with the early colonial period. In the seventeenth century, Royalists and Covenanters were transported to the American colonies, where many were sold into indentured servitude. Emigration from Scotland to the American colonies increased during the eighteenth century prior to the American Revolution. Innovations in farming and the weaving industry encouraged emigration from Scotland to America, (pp. 14-15). Scots fought on both sides of the American Revolution; many Scottish Loyalists chose to resettle in British North America, present-day Canada, rather than remain in the United States.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
