The group you are referring to is likely the Highland Scots. In the 18th century, particularly during the founding of the colony of Georgia, the Highland Scots were recruited by General James Oglethorpe to help defend the southern borders of the colony against potential Spanish invasions from Florida. They were known for their fierce fighting skills and played a significant role in the early defense of Georgia. The Trustees of Georgia, who managed the colony at its inception, supported the establishment of settlements by the Highland Scots to bolster the colony's military presence.
