The Ulster Plantation aimed to colonize and develop the northern province of Ulster in Ireland by settling English and Scottish Protestants in the region. This initiative sought to promote loyalty to the English crown, reduce the power of the native Irish Gaelic lords, and encourage economic development through agriculture and industry. The plantation also intended to establish a Protestant majority in a predominantly Catholic area, thereby reinforcing British control and Protestant influence in Ireland.

The English first arrived in 1169 (as Normans) but they were Christian, not Protestants. The Protestant Faith was established Martin Luther when he PROTESTED against the abuses in the Catholic Church. Following the English reformation under Henry VIII there was a desire to spread the Protestant faith to Ireland. This was done through a series of Plantations - Laois and Offaly were the first in 1556. However, the most successful plantation of Ireland was the 3rd Plantation - the Plantation of Ulster (1606). It is the legacy of this plantation which is largely responsible for the conflict between Ulster and the rest of Ireland, and the conflict within Ulster.
The plantation policy for Ireland, particularly in the 17th century, involved the systematic colonization of Irish lands by English and Scottish settlers, primarily in Ulster. This policy aimed to establish English control, promote Protestantism, and displace the native Gaelic Irish population. The most notable plantation was the Ulster Plantation, which began in the early 1600s and led to significant demographic and social changes, fostering tensions that contributed to longstanding conflicts in Ireland.
Ulster Plantation was ruled by King James I of England and VI of Scotland.

Yes, Campbell is considered an Ulster Scots surname. It has Scottish origins, particularly from the Gaelic name "Caimbeul," which means "crooked mouth." Many families with the Campbell surname settled in Ulster, particularly during the plantation period in the 17th century, contributing to its association with the Ulster Scots identity.
Ulster Scots settled in Northern Ireland during the Plantation of Ulster in the 17th century, particularly in the counties of Antrim, Down, Donegal, and Londonderry. They also later emigrated to other parts of the world, including the United States, Canada, and Australia.
