I know the slave names were adopted by der owners but da owners were high class English people, whereas Scottish, Irish immigrated after the slave trade and were themselves just making their way up in American life and competing with the blacks for jobs, status, etc, i dont think scottish or irish families were high enough to have slave workers, so just how did some Afro Americans have irish, scottish surnames.
