Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

That article doesn't jibe with most of what we've been taught. The assumption has always been that my father's Scottish name was through slavery, but the massive bulk of Scots in Jamaica weren't rich enough to earn slaves--they came in with the Chinese and Indians to replace the flow of workers that stopped with the end of the slave trade.

Most Jamaican Scots are poor as shit and have always been so. The English occupied most of the monied landowner positions.

I approve of your green chile cheeseburger! I had a tasty but unhealthy pasta with yogurt. I added hominy and chickpeas in an attempt to healthify it but I was actually supposed to just have the hominy and chiockpeas and not the pasta. Oops. But it was nom.

I need to go to Golden West and get their green chile cheeseburger. Ain't perfect, but I think they use hatch chile. I miss Sonic and The Shack and the Owl.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Scots immigration to America is SO not my area of expertise, but I imagine out of the 10,000 Scots they posit who were in Jamaica, at least 1-2% of them would have been wealthy enough to own an estate, and therefore, slaves.

This also seems to have some decent scholarship that talks of Scottish presence in the Indies, indentured servant, merchant and wealthy landowners.

Will the TSA take a copy of a passport as ID?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

A copy or the passport itself?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

98-99% is pretty in line with bulk of the Scots--I don't get if you're correcting me or agreeing with me.

Pretty sure TSA won't like copies. Likes: [link]

Pretty sure it has to be the actual passport.
