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".

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.

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.
