Scotch-Irish Americans

===Princeton===
In 1746, the Scotch-Irish Presbyterians created the College of New Jersey, later renamed [[Princeton University]]. The mission was training [[Old Side–New Side Controversy|New Light]] Presbyterian ministers. The college became the educational as well as religious capital of Scotch-Irish America. By 1808, loss of confidence in the college within the Presbyterian Church led to the establishment of the separate [[Princeton Theological Seminary]], but for many decades Presbyterian control over Princeton College continued. Meanwhile, Princeton Seminary, under the leadership of [[Charles Hodge]], originated a conservative theology that in large part shaped Fundamentalist Protestantism in the 20th century.<ref>Thomas Jefferson Wertenbaker,  "The College of New Jersey and the Presbyterians", ''Journal of the Presbyterian Historical Society,''  1958 36(4): 209–216</ref>
