They have resented the British ever since. However if they knew their history they would know that the Ulster-Scots who were planted there, were in fact in Ireland long before the Irish invaded Ireland in 149AD.
The roots of the Plantation stretch all the way back to 350BC when Gaels from the Iberian Peninsula first invaded Ireland. They waged a campaign of genocide against the native people, most of the survivors seeking refuge in Scotland. It was descendents of these refugees who (largely) made up the Plantation settlers. It is an interesting fact that Eoin McNeill, a leader of the Irish Republican movement during the early part of the 20th century, openly acknowledged this fact; indeed he went on to say that the Plantation should by right be called "The Homecoming".
A plantation was when the native Irish were forced out of an area of land and settlers - known as planters -- from Britain were given the land. It was a way of "planting" a British colony in Ireland so they were called Plantations
Mainly because of the potato famine around that time. This was a disease called blight which made potatos go mouldy even before they were dug out of the ground. As a result the whole crop failed and because potatos were very important food back then, the Irish were left with not much to eat and lots of people starved. When in Scotland many Irish were treated badly because Scotland was mainly a protestant country whereas the Irish were mainly catholic. Football teams such as Rangers, Hibs and Celtic were made for certain Irish only. Celtic was made as a charity to help the poor Irish immigrants living in Scotland
It is a tradition of the Irish and is like a handshke in irish irish dancing is and was a way of life for irish people

it's Irish Gaelic for 'how are you'but literally translates as 'what way are you' it is more common in Ulster dialect but is used to some extent in others.
One way to say it (Irish has three dialects) would be:Slán agus ádh mór ort! (to one person) or Slán agus ádh mór oraibh! (plural).(Ulster dialect)
