Forensics Team work on Battle of Culloden

The aftermath of Culloden was entirely for the purpose of destroying the highland Clan system which had given the English a very bad time previously. It did succeed in destroying the power of the Clan system for all time and getting rid of those seen as troublemakers and rebels securing absolute control of the highlands for the Loyalists.

Bubba,

The use of the term "Loyalists" is not really correct in this instance. See David's post and my reference to Lord Duncan Forbes -- many Highlanders who were loyal to the Hanoverians received just as much abuse from Cumberland as did Jacobite Highlanders.
