You are correct about that. I recall one year in high school it took several classmates to correctly point out where Florida was if the typical American has a hard time finding their nation and home state on a map they likely do not care all too much about Scotland. You'd be surprised how many people think we are at war with Iran or that call Iraqis "Iraqistanies" or "Iraqians"
The ones that do know in most cases are likely not that directly concerned which way the vote goes so far as how it might effect the US anyway. The Scottish descendants that live in the Appalachians already have a strong history of self reliance so they would likely support their ancestors to vote for independence.
