Whom does Crevecoeur accuse of “laziness” and “degeneracy”?

The correct answer is, “Settlers on the frontier”

In “What Is an American” J. Hector Jean de Crevecoeur, 1781, says that specifically Irish do not progress well, “they seem beside to labor” this is that they are lazier and degenerate. They loved more drinking and discussing, and being aggressive. Crevecoeur accused them of greater ignorance in husbandry due to the fact that their industry had less scope. In comparing the Scotch to the Irish, he reflects on why the Scotch are in general more honest and industrious that the Irish. He concludes this idea by saying that “there must be some powerful causes which constitute this great national difference”.
