Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Struggle for Missouri The Middle Class in the South was made up of much the same stock as the bulk of the Northern ers - that is of Scotch, scotch-irish and North Eng lish - Congregationalists, Presbyterians, Baptists and Dissenters generally - who had been forced out of Great Britain by the intolerant Episcopalians when the latter gained complete power after the suppression of the Rebellion of 1745. With these were also the descendants of the sturdy German Protestants who had been driven from Europe dur ing the religious wars when the Catholics gained the ascendency in their particular country. These were the backbone of the South, and had largely set tled along the foothills of the Alleghanies and in the fruitful valleys between the mountains, while the White Trash lived either on the barren parts of the lowlands or the bare and untillable highlands.
