A woman murdered in America 183 years ago has been buried in her native County Tyrone after her remains had lain in an unmarked grave.

Catherine Burns, 29, left Ireland for the US in 1832 to begin a new life, but within six weeks she was dead.
A funeral mass and burial took place at St Patrick's Church in Clonoe, near Coalisland.
She was one of 57 Irish migrants hired to build a stretch of railway in Pennsylvania known as Duffy's Cut.
Within six weeks of arriving in Philadelphia, all 57 workers - who hailed from counties Donegal, Tyrone and Londonderry - were dead.
It is thought some died from cholera, while others were murdered by local people who believed the immigrants were spreading the disease.
Most were buried anonymously in a mass grave near the shanty town where they lived and worked, but Catherine was among several workers buried separately.
Officials with the Philadelphia and Columbia railroad never notified the immigrants' families of their deaths.
Parish priest Father Benny Fee told the funeral: "Catherine is one of our own, she's no stranger, she has Tyrone blood in her veins, but we know so little about her.
"What we do know is that she knew suffering. She was married and already widowed at the tender age of 29 - before she was 30 she had loved and lost. We also know she knew poverty, she knew what it was to have nothing in her purse.
"She took the boat to the USA for no other reason than she had no choice - she could stay at home and starve, or she could gamble on taking a boat across the Atlantic and with a bit of luck catch the tail of the American dream.
"But as Christy Moore's song Duffy's Cut says so well, she was sailing into Hell and less than two months into her arrival in the new world, she and her 56 Irish companions in Duffy's Cut were dead and buried in unmarked graves."
This is the second repatriation of remains found at Duffy's Cut, now a wooded area behind suburban homes in the borough of Malvern, about 20 miles west of Philadelphia.
In 2013, 18-year-old John Ruddy was reburied at Ardara, County Donegal.
An investigation into what happened to the 57 Irish workers began in 2002, when Malvern's Immaculata University professor Bill Watson, his twin brother Frank, a Lutheran minister, and fellow Immaculata professor Earl Schandelmeier, began the Duffy's Cut archival and research project.
The trio accompanied Catherine on her journey home to County Tyrone and attended the wake and the funeral in Clonoe.
Fr Fee thanked them for the "courtesy and respect they have shown our Tyrone Catherine".
He added: "You have brought Catherine back from her exile to her native pastures. Now there's no fear, no terror for Catherine anymore."


Sinn Féin has said it is to lodge a motion of no confidence in the assembly speaker Robin Newton.

The party's national chairperson Declan Kearney has called for Mr Newton to resign with immediate effect.
He said Sinn Féin would be lodging the motion on Monday.
Mr Newton of the DUP was criticised by MLAs last month for his decision to allow First Minister Arlene Foster to make a statement without the support of the deputy first minister.
Some politicians questioned whether she should have been allowed to deliver such a statement.
Sinn Féin later said Mr Newton's position had become "untenable" as a result of the proceedings on 19 December. He also faced calls to step down as speaker from the UUP and SDLP.
The first and deputy first ministers hold joint office at Stormont.
The DUP and Sinn Féin are partners in the coalition government in Northern Ireland.
Opposition politicians staged a walk-out protest on 19 December when Mrs Foster began to make her statement on the controversial Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) scheme.
They complained that the speaker had undermined the principles of power-sharing by permitting the first minister to make a formal statement to the chamber without the agreement of the deputy first minister.
Mr Newton wrote to MLAs last month acknowledging what he said were genuine frustrations and concerns over the nature of the proceedings on 19 December.
In response to calls for him to step down, Mr Newton said he would reply in writing to opposition MLAs in January.
Mr Newton, an MLA for east Belfast, was previously the subject of intense scrutiny over his links with the community organisation Charter NI .
In November 2016, he apologised for not declaring his links to Charter NI, when ruling against an urgent debate on its funding.
The previous month, Mr Newton did not declare a link when he rejected an SDLP request for an urgent oral question.
Mr Newton denied being an adviser to the East Belfast community group. However, he said he had offered advice in the past.


Belgian authorities have admitted to several errors before, during and since the Brussels attacks of 22 March.

Brussels had already been prepared for an attack, as several of those who carried out the Paris attacks on 13 November had come from Belgium.
And yet security forces were often a step behind the suspects, and there are fears that reported operational failures on the day of the bombings meant that reactions were sometimes too slow.
The Belgian government has insisted that its response to the airport bombings on 22 March was clear. The decision to evacuate the Brussels metro and five rail stations was taken at 08:50 on 22 March, 52 minutes after two bombs went off at Brussels airport at 07:58.
But the third bomb went off at 09:11 on a metro train at Maelbeek station, in the heart of the European quarter. Metro company STIB said it had received no order from the government to halt services. The second attack was well over an hour after the first and ministers are under pressure to explain what went wrong.
Rail operators also said they had been given no direction from the government. Train services continued for some time after the third bomb and operator Infrabel only put its internal crisis plan into action at 09:45.
The Belgian government has said these details are speculation and questions over timings will be assessed by a parliamentary investigation committee.
On 15 April Transport Minister Jacqueline Galant resigned over accusations she had ignored lapses in security at Belgian airports.
A leaked report showed weaknesses in security procedures at Belgian airports had been identified by EU inspectors in March last year.
Ms Galant had initially denied having seen the report, which was leaked by opposition parties. Prime Minister Charles Michel initially defended her before admitting that the report had been discussed by her office.
The 2015 European Commission report, and another from 2011, both published by public broadcaster RTBF (in French), cited "serious deficiencies" and said airport security programmes, air carriers and suppliers were "not adequately monitored".
The inspectors said one of the Belgian bodies charged with ensuring security could not carry out its responsibilities because of a "lack of resources".
A string of errors have been made over the two brothers who blew themselves up on 22 March but it was not just Belgian officials involved.
The case of Ibrahim el-Bakraoui has shone an uncomfortable light on failures in intelligence-sharing across Europe.
Both brothers, Khalid and Ibrahim el-Bakraoui were violent, convicted criminals freed early from jail in line with parole recommendations.
Where Belgium and other countries failed, was in understanding the danger they posed as Islamists linked to so-called Islamic State (IS).
Ibrahim el-Bakraoui was freed in October 2014, having served four years of a nine-year jail term for a crime which involved opening fire on police with a Kalashnikov. The Belgian government has already criticised the courts for failing to keep tabs on him. He broke his parole conditions and was picked up by Turkey near the Syrian border in June 2015.
Although Turkey's president said authorities in Ankara had warned Belgium and the Netherlands that he was a "foreign terrorist fighter" that has been strenuously denied by the Dutch and Belgian governments.
The Dutch argue that the Turks did not follow the steps they would normally adopt with suspects identified as radicalised Islamists. A "very urgent" note sent by the Turkish embassy on the day he was flown to Amsterdam merely provides his name.
As a result, the Dutch allowed Ibrahim el-Bakraoui to slip through Schiphol airport because they had no record of him. And the Belgians were still treating him as a petty criminal, rather than an Islamist.
The Belgian government says it asked for more information from Turkey and heard nothing until November.
By 25 September, Ibrahim el-Bakraoui had been placed on a US counter-terrorism watch list. An Interpol red notice for his brother was issued in December for his brother, Khalid.
An alert from police in New York about both brothers was issued on 16 March and passed on to Dutch authorities.
For four months after the 13 November gun and bomb attacks in Paris, Belgian police were searching for key Paris suspect Salah Abdeslam. Brussels went into lockdown for days afterwards amid fears of an imminent attack.
He was finally caught on 18 March, a few hundred metres from where he had grown up, an event thought to have brought forward the Brussels attacks four days later.
It has since emerged that police in Mechelen, north of Brussels, had failed to pass on information as far back as early December 2015 about a radicalised accomplice, Abid Aberkan, who had been in touch with Salah Abdeslam.
The two were eventually caught at Salah Aberkan's mother's address. Police said the source was unreliable but acknowledged a mistake had been made.
Salah Abdeslam's capture was hailed as a major Belgian security success, and during his initial questioning the next morning he is said to have spoken freely to an investigating judge. But he was questioned for only two hours between his arrest and the Brussels bombings.
He was not interviewed again before the attacks, even though a detonator and weapons were found at the safe house in which he had been hiding until 18 March.
We now know that despite his arrest, at least three close accomplices - Khalid el-Bakraoui, Ibrahim el-Bakraoui and Najim Laachraoui - were able to blow themselves up four days later. Khalid rented the Brussels flat that Salah Abdeslam had been hiding at until 15 March as well as the Charleroi house used before the Paris attacks. Laachraoui is thought to have been the bomb-maker.
There have been several unverified reports that Belgian authorities were warned in advance of attacks planned against Brussels airport.
According to Skai TV in Greece, a map and layout of the airport at Zaventem were found on a computer and USB stick at a flat in the Pangrati area of Athens which was used by Paris attacks ringleader Abdelhamid Abaaoud in January 2015.
Belgian prosecutors have not confirmed the allegation but the flat was searched by Greek police a few days after a Belgian raid on an Islamist cell in the town of Verviers in which two suspects were killed.
French daily Le Monde reports that handwritten notes and attack plans were found on the Athens computer hard drive - and that the details matched in every respect the bombing of Brussels airport.
The search for the third airport bombing suspect, wearing a hat and white jacket, was beset with difficulties for Belgian police, who carried out 100 searches in connection with the attacks. Initially, there were reports that he was bomb-maker Najim Laachraoui but then he was declared to have died.
A man named by Belgian media as Faycal Cheffou was arrested but later freed.
His release was a major setback for investigators, who had to re-launch their appeal for help in finding the man in the hat, releasing new video of him walking through Brussels after the airport attack.
On 9 April, shortly after the appeal, police swooped in the Anderlecht district of the capital and arrested Mohamed Abrini, a 31-year-old Belgian of Moroccan origin.
He had been wanted for months over the Paris attacks, having been filmed at a petrol station with Salah Abdeslam, two days before the attacks there.
But Abrini, until his arrest not directly linked to the Brussels attacks, then admitted to prosecutors he was the man in the hat.
With the arrest the same day of Osama Krayem, suspected of being an accomplice of Khalid el-Bakraoui at the Maelbeek metro station, all the major suspects in the Paris and Brussels attacks are now either dead or under arrest.
However, questions still remain about the conduct of the investigation - and Belgian police are continuing to carry out operations and announce terrorist-related charges.


Sydney Roosters captain Mitchell Pearce has been stood down from training after footage of him apparently committing lewd and drunken acts was broadcast.

Roosters coach Trent Robinson described Pearce's behaviour as "unacceptable".
The club are investigating and have informed the NRL.
In the video, Pearce, 26, appears to try to kiss a woman, who accuses him of wetting himself after rejecting his advances, before allegedly simulating a sex act on a dog.
"At the Roosters, we can't accept that and we won't," said Robinson. "Over the next couple of days we will come to a conclusion with the NRL."
The incident is said to have happened at a house party on Australia Day.
An NRL spokesman said the league's integrity unit "will work with the Roosters to ensure the matter is dealt with appropriately".
Half-back Pearce, the son of rugby league legend and NRL commissioner Wayne Pearce, looks certain to miss the trip to England for the World Club Series clash with St Helens at Langtree Park on 19 February.
In a statement, the Roosters said Pearce, who has played State of Origin rugby for New South Wales, will not train until the club "concludes its internal investigation".
In 2014, Pearce was fined £9,800 and suspended after an incident in which he was arrested and ejected from a Sydney nightclub.
England coach Steve McNamara is assistant coach at the Roosters.


A man has made his first public court appearance charged with the murder of a baby girl in Fife.

Gordon McKay, 37, is accused of killing five-month old Hayley Davidson.
It is claimed on various occasions between the day Hayley was born on 9 September 2015 and 14 February 2016 Mr McKay assaulted her in Buckhaven.
It includes allegations he did "bend and compress" the baby's body and bite her. He pleaded not guilty during a hearing at the High Court in Glasgow.
It is further said Mr McKay repeatedly shook Hayley and "by means to the prosecutor unknown" inflicted trauma and violence on her head and body.
The murder accusation states the child was left so severely injured that she died in hospital on 17 February.
Mr McKay, also of Buckhaven, faces a second charge of possessing cannabis.
Ronnie Renucci, defending, lodged a special defence of incrimination in connection with the murder charge.
The advocate said he was not ready for a trial to be set.
Judge Lord Beckett instead set a further hearing due to take place in June. Mr McKay was bailed.


The US has issued a worldwide travel alert for its citizens in response to "increased terrorist threats".

The state department said "current information" suggested the Islamic State [IS] group, al-Qaeda, Boko Haram and others continued "to plan terrorist attacks in multiple regions".
The alert, it said, will remain in place until 24 February 2016.
France, Russia, Mali and several other countries have seen deadly attacks in the past month.
A US state department representative told BBC News there was "currently... no reason to believe that US citizens would be specifically targeted".
Meanwhile Belgium announced the capital Brussels would stay at the highest level of alert for another week over fears of militant attacks like those that killed 130 people in Paris on 13 November.
In other developments
The travel alert advises US citizens to "exercise vigilance when in public places or using transportation".
They are also advised to "be aware of immediate surroundings and avoid large crowds or crowded places".
"Authorities believe the likelihood of terror attacks will continue as members of ISIL/Da'esh [IS] return from Syria and Iraq," the state department said.
Analysis: James Cook, North America Correspondent
A US worldwide travel alert is unusual but not rare.
Similar advice, which applies everywhere bar the US itself, was issued twice in 2011 - following the death of Osama Bin Laden and on the tenth anniversary of the 11 September attacks. There was a further warning in August 2013.
The most recent worldwide alert came last Christmas in response to an attack in Sydney, Australia, flagging the risk of "lone wolf" attacks, a warning repeated this time using the less colourful phrase "unaffiliated persons".
Such broad warnings have been criticised in the past, both for being so vague as to be of little practical use and for doing the terrorists' job for them by creating a climate of fear in which governments may introduce repressive policies.
But with millions of Americans travelling this week to celebrate Thursday's Thanksgiving holiday, US officials insist the action is a sensible reminder of the global terrorist threat.
Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel warned that the threat to his country remained "imminent and serious".
But he also said authorities were planning to reopen schools and the Brussels metro on Wednesday.
IS is believed to be behind the 13 November Paris attacks.
Co-ordinated assaults using guns and suicide vests were launched on several locations in the French capital.
Belgian prosecutors announced on Monday that a fourth suspect had been charged with terrorism offences related to the Paris attacks.
The unnamed man was one of 21 people detained in raids on Sunday and Monday. Seventeen have been released without charge.

Sellafield's tallest structure is going to be dismantled in a "delicate operation" lasting a number of years.

The 200ft (61m) chimney was built in the 1950s on top of an 11-storey reprocessing plant on the nuclear site.
It no longer meets modern design standards and needs to be demolished, but owing to its location, the use of explosives has had to be ruled out.
Instead, a platform will be constructed and steeplejacks will dismantle the huge structure bit by bit from the top.
They will have to remove 600 tonnes of concrete and more than 25 tonnes of stainless steel.
Matthew Hodgson, the project manager, said: "The job of bringing down the stack is going to be a delicate operation to ensure 100% safety of all personnel and surrounding nuclear plants.
"Obviously conventional demolition using explosives is not feasible, therefore we will use an ingenious self-climbing platform which will bring the chimney down bit by bit in a controlled manner.
"A mini-replica of the tapered chimney will be built to test the methodology as the diameter of the chimney increases the lower you go down, so the platform will correspondingly have to increase in size.
"A specialist diamond wire cutting system will be used to remove large sections of the concrete structure and the internal metal flue.
"All of which will have to be lowered to the base of the stack for monitoring before disposal."
Steve Slater, head of decommissioning, said: "It's going to be out with the old and in with the new, with the new Separation Area Ventilation (SAV) stack taking over.
"Work to construct that new replacement stack is continuing."
The first phase of the work, to install an industrial lift and a roof bridge structure, allowing access to the base of the chimney, is about to begin.


Registers of Scotland (RoS) has announced the winners of its Click Your Croft photography competition.

Run in association with the Scottish Crofting Federation and the Crofting Commission, the contest set out to explore what this traditional way of life means to crofters in 2014.
Heather Gray, of Shetland, won first prize with her photograph called Hentin Totties, which shows a family of all ages working the land.
She said: "I suppose my main inspiration for the photo is family.
"Seeing the extended family from grannies to toddlers coming together and helping out with the yearly crop - it just makes you smile."
Second prize was awarded to Checking the Sheep with Grandad, submitted by Ria Macdonald.
Taken on the Isle of Lewis, it shows Cormac Sandison with dog Mac checking on pregnant ewes on his grandfather's croft.
In third place was Fiona MacKay's image of haymaking on Lewis, entitled Summer Bales.
John King, of RoS and one of the panel of judges, said: "We received a large number of fantastic photos taken by people of all ages from across Scotland's crofting regions.
"What really comes across in these images is how much crofters love what they do, and how central family still is to this traditional way of life.
"Hentin Totties stood out for its depiction of everyone mucking in and having a great time doing so."


A cross-party private members bill calling for the lifting of the statute of limitations for  symphysiotomy survivors has passed unopposed in the Irish parliament (Dáil).

The controversial procedure involved widening a woman's pelvis during childbirth.
It is estimated up to 1,500 women underwent symphysiotomies between the mid-1940s and mid-1980s.
The proposed legislation will allow women to seek legal redress in court.
The legislation was introduced by Sinn Fein TD Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin, who is the convenor of the cross-party group of TDs working on the issue.
The legislation proposed to set aside the statute of limitations for a year to allow victims to seek redress through the courts.
Symphysiotomy was a procedure carried out on mothers before or after labour.
The surgery increased the size of the pelvic area to allow easier delivery of a baby.
The procedure, sometimes carried out without consent or with no information given about its risks, has since been linked with chronic conditions such as pain, incontinence and mobility problems.
Its use began to decline in the late 1950s as confidence increased in the safety of repeated caesarean sections, but Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital in Drogheda, County Louth, continued with the procedure until 1984.


European Challenge Cup holders Gloucester got their defence under way with a comfortable victory over Zebre.

The hosts led 23-0 after a dominant first-half display, with Henry Purdy, Ross Moriarty and Steve McColl all crossing and Billy Burns kicking a conversion and two penalties.
Zebre were later awarded a penalty try which Edoardo Padovani converted.
Padovani also slotted a penalty for the Italian side while Gloucester failed to earn a four-try bonus point win.
Purdy went over in the corner, Moriarty bundled over and McColl outpaced the Zebre defence to score three unanswered first-half tries.
Gloucester lost Lewis Ludlow to the sin bin early in the second half and Zebre were awarded a penalty try as they reduced the deficit.
Henry Trinder made his comeback from injury but he failed to help his side earn the extra point a fourth try would have sealed, with a Padovani penalty completing the second-half scoring.
Gloucester head coach David Humphreys told BBC Radio Gloucestershire:
"We got a win in difficult conditions and I was very pleased with the performance of some of the players who came in.
Media playback is not supported on this device
"What makes the second half even more disappointing was that the first half was so good.
"We just never really got going, error after error, penalty after penalty, and once than happens sometimes it's hard to change the momentum in a game.
"We have got to develop a squad that has 30 players ready to come in and play, make a change here, rest a player here, and the performance doesn't suffer."
Gloucester: Cook; McColl, Meakes, Atkinson, Purdy; Burns, Braley; Thomas, Lindsay, Doran-Jones; Stooke, Thrush; Moriarty, Rowan (capt), Ludlow.
Replacements: Dawidiuk, Murphy, Thomas, Hicks, Thomas, Laidlaw, Trinder, Thorley.
Zebre: Palazzani, Berryman, Bisegni, Pratichetti, Sarto, Padovani, Violi, Lovotti, D'Apice, Chistolini, Bernabo, Bortolami (capt), Sarto, Meyer, Ferrarini.

Perhaps the sweetest part of Glasgow's famous victory in Paris was that it was almost entirely unexpected.

After all, what evidence was there to suggest that such a seismic result was in the offing? Warriors had lost their last three Pro12 matches, with some truly wretched performances. Their previous Champions Cup outing had been a Thomond Park thumping at the hands of an inspired Munster.
Yes, Gregor Townsend was able to strengthen his side with the returning Scotland stars Zander Fagerson, Jonny Gray, Finn Russell and Stuart Hogg, but did many really expect them to turn over Racing 92, the French champions, on their own patch?
Townsend described Saturday's 23-14 win as the second best of his tenure as head coach, behind only the 2015 Pro12 final win against Munster.
This has to go down as Glasgow's finest win in Europe, in part because of the standard of the opposition, and also down to the nature of the victory.
This was no smash-and-grab or backs-to-the-wall job. Warriors came to Paris and did a number on one of the powerhouses of the European game.
There were 64 minutes between Dan Carter's conversion of Juan Imhoff's try and the All Blacks legend dancing through the visitors defence to reduce the arrears for Racing late on.
In that hour-and-a-bit of rugby, Glasgow prevented the champions of France and last season's Champions Cup finalists from troubling the scoreboard - the hosts did not manage one point in that period.
It was a period of near perfect defence and smart game-management. Glasgow enjoyed 50% of possession and 52% territory in the first half, which dropped to 31% and 36% after the break. And yet they were rarely camped near their own line and out-scored the hosts by 10 points to seven in that second 40 minutes.
The half-back pairing of Ali Price and Finn Russell played with maturity and composure. Their decision-making on when to attack and when to play the percentages was spot on and contributed significantly to the win.
In the pack, the quietly devastating effectiveness of Gray was once again to the fore.
The Warriors skipper has not missed a tackle in 750 minutes of international rugby. Here it was a perfect 19 from 19, more than anybody else on the pitch. He also topped Glasgow's list for ball-carries with nine.
Gray is not a guy whose voice you will hear booming around the ground as he rallies his troops, but his inspiration as a leader lies in his deeds. His appetite to put in the hard yards and the hard tackles, get up and do it over and over again, all for the greater good, marks him out as a second row of the highest calibre.
Gray said after the match how much he had enjoyed going up against 'Naks', his friend and former second row partner Leone Nakarawa. He described the Racing lock as a "world-class player" and, while that is certainly true, it was the Fijian who was outclassed by his Scottish counterpart. Gray now also belongs in that world-class bracket.
And although the second row positions will be the most fiercely contested when it comes to selection for the British and Irish Lions tour in the summer, can Warren Gatland really ignore the 22-year-old's sustained excellence?
As Townsend touched on after the match, Gray had plenty of support in snuffing out the threat of the Parisian superstars.
"There were other key leaders there today," Townsend said. " The young half-backs stood up really well, Ryan Wilson at number eight is a key leader for us.
"When you've got Jonny, Rob Harley and Simone (Favaro) in your team, if someone does make a mistake defensively, they're going to get there and tidy it up. It's really reassuring for a coach knowing that those guys are putting in the effort for their team-mates."
The Glasgow coach will also be delighted that their ropey run of form has been ended in thrilling style. But as Townsend conceded, it could count for little if Warriors fail to back up this memorable win with another in the reverse fixture at Scotstoun on Friday night.
The opportunity is there for Glasgow to make history by qualifying from their pool for the first time. However, this is just the halfway stage. They face a Racing side out for revenge, a rejuvenated Munster and a trip to Leicester to finish the group.
If they perform like they did in Paris, then nothing in this tournament, in the pool stage and beyond, should hold any fears for them.


North Carolina congressman Robert Pittenger has apologised following remarks about the black community he made to BBC Newsnight.

"The grievance in their mind is the animus, the anger," the Republican said about the protesters in the city of Charlotte in his home state.
"They hate white people because white people are successful and they're not."
Protests followed the fatal police shooting of Keith Lamont Scott, a black man, in Charlotte on Tuesday.
Mr Pittenger, who represents the city in the US House of Representatives and has backed Donald Trump for president, apologised within hours of the interview on Thursday night.
Watch the whole interview here
He had faced severe criticism from his constituents as well as fellow members of Congress.
Democratic North Carolina Congressman GK Butterfield, who chairs the Congressional Black Caucus, attacked his colleague's remarks on Twitter.
"This is an appalling sentiment from an era our country has left behind - and it is beneath any American, let alone a Member of Congress," Mr Butterfield tweeted.
Criticism also came from North Carolina state politicians.
Mr Pittenger later appeared on CNN, attempting to walk back his comments, but many were unconvinced.
Charlotte has seen three nights of protests since the death of Mr Scott. Thursday's was largely peaceful after violence a day earlier during which one person was fatally shot.
Police say that Mr Scott was armed with a handgun but his family and neighbours claim he was holding a book. His family say they want video recording of the shooting to be released.
Meanwhile, Mr Trump's campaign chair in Ohio resigned on Thursday after claiming racism did not exist before President Barack Obama was elected.
Kathy Miller, who managed Mr Trump's campaign in Mahoning County, told the Guardian: "I don't think there was any racism until Obama got elected.
"We never had problems like this â€¦ Now, with the people with the guns, and shooting up neighbourhoods, and not being responsible citizens, that's a big change, and I think that's the philosophy that Obama has perpetuated on America."
Ms Miller resigned hours after the newspaper published her interview and apologised for her "inappropriate" comments.


A woman duped into a relationship with an undercover policeman has told how she tracked him down to Australia more than 20 years after he disappeared.

Helen Steel had a two-year relationship with John Dines in the 1990s before later learning he had been an undercover officer in the Met police.
She told the BBC that when she confronted him in Sydney he said he recognised "what he did was wrong".
Mr Dines told the Guardian he gave her a "personal and unreserved apology".
Ms Steel was one of seven women who received an "unreserved apology" and compensation from the Metropolitan Police for being deceived into sexual relationships with undercover officers.
The relationships took place over the course of 25 years with five officers from two undercover units.
Ms Steel met John "Barker" Dines in 1990 when she was a Greenpeace activist.
They were together for two years, and during that time rented a flat and discussed starting a family before he had an apparent breakdown and disappeared.
Ms Steel said she was left "distraught" by his disappearance and spent years searching for him.
She later learned he was a police officer and had relocated to Australia where he works for a university that trains police officers.
She told BBC Radio 4's Today programme she confronted him at Sydney Airport.
"I basically approached him and said 'You owe me an apology', at which point he said 'Apologies'," she said.
"And then I said that I wanted to talk more and then we went and spoke for a while about what happened and why he had deceived me in the way he deceived me.
"I think he recognises that what he did was wrong."
She said Mr Dines said he also claimed he had been "harmed" by the squad he had been part of.
The officers had worked undercover for the Special Demonstration Squad, part of the Met Police and the separate National Public Order Intelligence Unit.
Both teams deployed officers on long-term undercover operations to infiltrate radical political or social causes, such as environmental campaigns, anarchy and animal rights.
The longest relationship lasted for nine years.
The relationships took place until the units were disbanded in 2008 and 2011. One of the officers fathered children.
In each case the officers eventually disappeared, leaving their partners searching for years for answers.
The women said the Met's "unreserved apology", in November last year, would "never make up for what we have endured".
Mr Dines did not respond to the BBC but told the Guardian: "You will already be aware that I met with Helen Steel on 6 March, where I gave her a personal and unreserved apology for all and any hurt that she may have suffered.
"I do not intend to make any other comment."
A judge-led public inquiry is looking into what happened within the two undercover units.


England's Florentyna Parker won a play-off to claim victory in the Mediterranean Ladies Open in Barcelona.

Parker birdied the 18th hole to card a final-round five-under 66 and tie with Anna Nordqvist and Carlota Ciganda on 15-under par.
Spain's Ciganda was then eliminated at the first play-off hole after her rivals each produced a birdie.
Parker birdied the fourth play-off hole as she beat Sweden's Nordqvist to the title.


A committee of MPs is to launch an inquiry into private companies providing accommodation to asylum seekers in Glasgow.

The Commons Home Affairs Select Committee will investigate claims of mistreatment by housing provider Orchard and Shipman.
BBC Scotland has reported allegations that refused asylum seekers were locked out of their homes by the company.
Orchard and Shipman denies any wrongdoing and breaching guidelines.
Labour's Keith Vaz MP, the Westminster committee chairman, visited asylum seekers in Glasgow on Friday.
He told the BBC that he believed the standard of accommodation in the city was worse than in other parts of the UK housing asylum seekers.
"It's a system that's in crisis, there's no doubt about it," he said.
The committee will call representatives from Orchard and Shipman and Serco, which subcontracts the service to the company, to give evidence to its inquiry.
Orchard and Shipman is the only company providing asylum accommodation to have not already given evidence to the committee, which has previously investigated the housing of asylum seekers in England and Wales.
Mr Vaz also confirmed that the committee would start its work in June in order to complete a report before the contracts to house asylum seekers across the UK are renewed next year.
The Home Secretary Theresa May will appear before the committee next week.
"Before the Home Secretary signs the next contract, the committee will have things to say," he told the BBC.
"So we will conclude our inquiry in plenty of time for the Home Secretary to be able to reflect on it before she signs the new contracts."
Mr Vaz said he was concerned that the UK government was providing a better standard of care to those escaping the conflict in Syria than to those seeking asylum via the previously-existing system.
"At the moment, we seem to have a two-tier system," he said.
"An excellent system for the vulnerable persons who have come under the Syrian scheme and a second system that does not seem to be working."
Campaigners have previously criticised the decision by the Home Office in 2012 to change the way in which asylum seekers were housed in the UK.
Agreements with local providers and councils in different areas of the country were replaced by multi-million pound contracts, known collectively as the COMPASS contract, with three large private providers - G4S, Serco and Clearel - which then subcontract the work to smaller firms.
Mr Vaz said this arrangement would be the focus of the inquiry announced today.
"The committee did warn Theresa May before she signed the COMPASS contract that it was wrong to go away from local providers and to three companies, two of which are multinational companies making multi-million profits."
Following the allegations broadcast by the BBC, politicians renewed calls for an inquiry into the provision of asylum accommodation.
Mr Vaz today said that he believed that an independent inquiry was still an option but that this would take longer to complete than the one his committee will carry out.
He said: "I think that we will conclude this inquiry pretty rapidly, but thoroughly. Then it might be appropriate to go further, if people are not able to come before us.
"We've never had a circumstance where a witness has failed to appear when we've asked them to appear. So I'm confident that we have the powers to do this inquiry."
The BBC investigation was told of allegations that asylum seekers could have been locked out of their homes in breach of agreed eviction guidelines.
An ex-employee of Orchard and Shipman said this "brutal" practice was leaving people homeless.
The company said it routinely changed locks only after "the vacation of both granted and refused asylum seeker departures".
It said that, at its own expense, it "often continues to provide support for both failed and successful asylum seekers following receipt of their decision letter from the Home Office and the relevant notice period".
A spokesman added: "We are currently housing around 40 refused asylum seekers - the most vulnerable - including elderly, disabled and families with children."
Orchard and Shipman has managed the Â£221m Home Office contract for asylum seeker accommodation in Scotland and Northern Ireland, on behalf of international service company Serco, since September 2012.
Asylum seekers in Scotland come from all over the world including Somalia, Zimbabwe, Pakistan and Eritrea.


Ten men were arrested after a teenager was stabbed and gun shots were fired, police said.

Officers were called to Lowe Street in Whitmore Reans, Wolverhampton at 17:00 GMT on Thursday when a 17-year-old boy was found with stab wounds.
Several minutes later a second call was made to police when a shotgun was fired twice in nearby Deveron Close.
West Midlands Police believe the men, who have now been bailed, were linked to both incidents.
The teenager remains in hospital in a stable condition, police said.
DCI Chris Hanson said: "We believe both of these offences were linked and were the result of a dispute between two groups.
"The shooting happened following an argument between a group and a lone man with a gun."


A list of tracks by a death metal band was accidentally printed on the back of a new album by comedian Bernie Clifton.

The 80-year-old said he was "fuming and furious" about the error, which saw songs by the group Abhorrent Decimation printed on his CD.
The singer made an album of covers following the response to his audition on BBC One's The Voice.
He joked he should join the band "on the road", while their singer said they should "work together".
Clifton's track listing was mixed up with that of Abhorrent Decimation's album, Miasmic Mutation.
The comedian, who is famous for riding a yellow ostrich, said: "I'm fuming and furious... I got [the CDs] out the box and I looked on the back and here was the track listing of a death metal group.
"We could go on the road, me and the lads. We could do To Dream the Impossible Miasmic Mutation."
The band's singer Ashley Scott said he was alerted to the mistake after being shown an article about it on page three of The Sun newspaper.
"I thought he was going to show me some buxom blonde and take the mick out of me for being a bit overweight and bang, there's the band.
"I definitely want to talk to Bernie about working together on something... it would be amazing."
Mr Scott said he thinks the error occurred due to similar catalogue numbers.
Clifton, from Derbyshire, apologised to the people who pre-ordered his album and said copies would be with them shortly.


England boss Eddie Jones has tarnished his legacy in Australia because of comments made during the summer, says Wallabies head coach Michael Cheika.

Jones became head coach of his native Australia in 2001 and guided them to the World Cup final in 2003.
During this summer's series down under, Jones said the Australian media had an orchestrated campaign against his side.
"There was a lot of vitriol about Australia, his home nation," said Cheika of Jones during the summer tour.
Cheika, a former team-mate of Jones at Sydney side Randwick, added: "It's where he coached, where the opportunities were given to him to grow up as a coach, and play.
"Personally if you're looking to leave a legacy somewhere, you don't want to hit back at it when you leave."
Under Jones' guidance, England completed a series whitewash in Australia in June, becoming the first touring side to secure a 3-0 series win down under since South Africa in 1971.
And they will aim to create more history when they host the Wallabies at Twickenham as victory on Saturday would equal England's record of 14 consecutive wins, set under Sir Clive Woodward in 2003.
Jones, however, has once again raised tensions ahead of Saturday's match by asking for a meeting with referee Jaco Peyper to address the Wallabies' scrummaging technique.
Cheika said: "I suppose it's always difficult when you go back into a tournament where you're playing teams you've coached before.
"And you don't really know how to play it, do you stay reserved or do you go out there and get stuck into them? I know what I do, even in a country like Ireland when I'm there where I coached for many years.
"I didn't coach the national team there, but that's the choice he wants to make, and he thinks is best for his team."

At least 90 militants from the Islamic State (IS) group were killed by a huge bomb dropped by the US in Afghanistan, a regional governor says.

The most powerful non-nuclear bomb ever used by the US in combat was dropped on an IS base in Nangarhar province.
A network of tunnels and caves was destroyed on Thursday evening local time, US officials said.
The death toll was confirmed to the BBC by Ismail Shinwary, the governor of Achin province within Nangarhar.
IS had earlier said it had not suffered any casualties in the blast.
No civilians were killed in the explosion, Mr Shinwary said. The Chief Executive of Afghanistan, Abdullah Abdullah, said the attack had been carried out in co-ordination with his government and "great care had been taken to avoid civilian harm".
However, one resident close to where the blast happened told the BBC some homes were destroyed. The explosion lit up the whole night sky, he said.
Known as the "mother of all bombs", or MOAB, the device was dropped on Thursday evening by an MC-130 transport plane, falling in Nangarhar's Achin district.
It was the first time the bomb, one of only 15 ever built, had been used in combat.
When IS announced the establishment of its Khorasan branch - an old name for Afghanistan and surrounding areas - in January 2015, it was the first time the group had officially spread outside the Arab world.
"The enemy had created bunkers, tunnels and extensive mine fields, and this weapon was used to reduce those obstacles so that we could continue our offensive in southern Nangarhar," said Gen John Nicholson, the most senior US military commander in Afghanistan.
While the attack was supported by the Afghan government, former president Hamid Karzai said it represented an "inhuman and most brutal misuse of our country as testing ground for new and dangerous weapons".
Mr Shinwary had earlier confirmed to the BBC that Afghan special forces, with the help of American air support, had begun anti-IS operations in the area two weeks ago.
But reports say fighting has intensified in recent days. Last Saturday, an American special forces soldier was killed fighting militants.


A man protesting about flies in a South Yorkshire village has been shot in the eye with a paintball gun.

About 30 people took part in a protest at Rossington, near Doncaster, over noise and flies which they claim are linked to recycling firm Morris Metals.
The group was shot at by a man wearing a balaclava and riding a quad bike. The injured man has been taken to hospital.
Morris Metals said it had taken action to reduce flies around its site and denied causing excess noise.
Police are investigating the shooting.

Villagers in Rossington were protesting against the number of lorries running through the area and about insects which they say come from the recycling firm.
Villager Cheryl Moy said the problem was making people prisoners in their homes.
"When it is warm its hot because you daren't open your living room windows, you can't get air in the house without having lots of flies coming in. Its horrible".
The company said in a statement it did not believe it was the only source of the problem.
"We have had some issues with flies but have worked hard to eradicate them and we now no longer stockpile material that contains organic matter.
This will ensure that we won't be a source of this kind of problem in future."
It also added it was restricted to 10 to 12 lorries per day and had never breached its permits.
The Environment Agency said it understood the issue was causing "real distress" to residents and was taking action.
"We have visited all permitted businesses on the estate to ensure that they are operating properly, and have instructed Morris Metals to take action to reduce the number of flies," it said.


A man has been arrested for a third time in connection with the murder of a man who died in a vicious attack 11 years ago.

Paul Croft, 19, from Eccles, Salford, was beaten to death with a baseball bat in an alleyway in Pendlebury in 2005.
No-one has been convicted over the killing, despite Greater Manchester Police (GMP) offering a Â£50,000 reward in 2010.
The force said a 27-year-old man had been arrested on suspicion of murder.
He was previously arrested in March 2005 and February 2006, a police spokesman said.
The development came after a fresh investigation by GMP's cold case unit.
Mr Croft, the eldest of five children, had been drinking in the Newmarket pub in Swinton on the day he was attacked, on 24 March of that year.
Police received calls just after 20:00 GMT to say that a man was being attacked at Sandy Path, near the Lord Nelson pub in Pendlebury.
Mr Croft suffered severe head injuries and died a week later in hospital.
His girlfriend was seven months pregnant with his twins at the time.
The arrested man has been bailed until 15 September pending further inquires.


The first inquiries into alleged misconduct by officers handling child sex abuse complaints in Rotherham have concluded there is "no case to answer", the police watchdog said.

The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) said nine inquiries were complete with 53 more ongoing.
It is currently investigating 211 allegations made against more than 90 South Yorkshire Police officers.
The complaints include alleged corruption and failure to act.
Rachel Cerfontyne, deputy chair of the IPCC, said: "We've certainly found things that have gone wrong and we've certainly found significant failings but in terms of the individuals, whilst we've got concerns around some performance, we've not found is any indication of misconduct."
She added that as a result of the inquiry at least one officer had been interviewed under caution but no charges had been brought.
An IPCC spokesperson said it had made "learning recommendations" to the force concerning the recording of information and the retention of archived materials."
Details of the nature of the allegations at the centre of the nine investigations have not been revealed.
However, Ms Cerfontyne said they related to "leadership, crime reporting and intelligence, as well as attitudes towards survivors and suspected offenders, and the ineffectiveness of police engagement with other agencies".
Inquiries began in November 2014 after South Yorkshire Police referred 13 officers to the IPCC and has now grown into the "the second largest operation" the IPCC has undertaken after the Hillsborough inquiry.
South Yorkshire Police and Crime Commissioner Dr Alan Billings, said the length of time the investigation is taking was "intolerable and unfair" on victims and officers and described it as a "denial of natural justice".
Ms Cerfontyne said Dr Billings concerns were "entirely understandable" but the IPCC's priority was to ensure all claims were carried out "rigorously and thoroughly".
She added the inquiry had been slowed down by a number of factors including the fact new allegations continue to be received, the most recent of which were lodged on Monday.
South Yorkshire Police has not responded to the IPCC's announcement.


A group of up to 20 people looked on as a gang punched and kicked a teenage asylum seeker at a bus stop in south London, neighbours have said.

Eight people are being questioned by police on suspicion of the attempted murder of the Kurdish Iranian victim following Friday's attack in Shrublands Avenue, Croydon.
Those involved in the attack have been labelled "scum" by the local MP.
London Mayor Sadiq Khan also condemned the attack.
Detectives made three further arrests on Sunday - two men aged 23 and 26 and a 17-year-old girl.
Five others who were arrested on Saturday - four men and one woman, all aged 20 or 24 - remain in custody.
A 20-year-old woman arrested on Saturday has been released with no further action, the Metropolitan Police said.
One resident of Shrublands Avenue said: "There was a massive group coming up from The Goat pub.
"You couldn't see who was hitting who. There was one person, the one who ended up in hospital, he was getting absolutely beaten up.
"There was a group of roughly 10 people kicking and punching him and the rest, another 10 or 20, were all just around watching."
"People that were there, witnesses, because they couldn't do anything against a group of 30 people, they had to wait until they moved off and that's when they managed to help him.
"That's eventually when the ambulance and police (arrived), and that was it."
The victim was waiting with two friends at the bus stop when he was set upon at about 23:40 BST.
It is believed the attackers asked him where he was from before they chased him down the road and repeatedly kicked him as he lay on the ground.
His friends suffered minor injuries in the attack, but the teenager is reported to have sustained a fractured skull and a blood clot on his brain.
He was taken to a south London hospital where he remains in a "serious but stable" condition.
Officers are in the process of informing next of kin.
By Simon Jones, BBC News correspondent
As high-visibility police patrols in the area continue, residents in this diverse community have been trying to make sense of what happened.
The police tape around the bus stop has been taken down, transport is running normally again.
But as people sat waiting for buses, the attack was the only topic of conversation.
Many were keen to tell me what happened was not typical of the area, describing it as a place where people do get along.
A few though say it's left them feeling scared, particularly as more details have been released by the police about what happened.
The local MP, on his visit to talk to the numerous TV cameras, took time to speak to one of the community leaders, so they could share their sense of shock.
One resident has responded by spraying graffiti near the numerous flats on Shrublands Avenue that reads simply: "Refugees Welcome".
London Mayor Sadiq Khan said in a statement that there would always be a "zero-tolerance approach" to hate crimes of any type.
"Hate crime has no place in London, Britain or anywhere else," he said.
The Refugee Council said it was "disgusted" by the assault.
Director of advocacy, Dr Lisa Doyle, said: "We hope the perpetrators of this appalling attack are swiftly brought to justice and we wish the victim a full and speedy recovery."
Kana Varathan, who lives near the scene of the attack, said he heard the screams of the victim.
He said: "Normally, Friday night, they are always making noise, then it sounded really funny.
"Then, looking to the window, the group of people [were] beating one person."
Croydon Central MP Gavin Barwell used Twitter to appeal to anyone with information "about the scum" responsible for the attack to contact the police.
He told the BBC: "I described them on Twitter as scum.  I think this is a cowardly and despicable attack.
"It appears that this young boy that sought sanctuary in this country has been set upon by a whole group of people.
"And I hope that we will find the people responsible and that they will face the full force of our criminal justice system."
Mr Barwell added: "The other thing that I would say is that what happened here is not representative of this community and that Croydon is one of the most diverse bits of London and people of different backgrounds get along very well."
Ch Supt Jeff Boothe said: "A number of bystanders and eyewitnesses tried to intervene and say to the attackers that 'enough is enough'."
He added: "Hate crime is something which we understand can be very, very divisive. Croydon is culturally diverse and we need to continue to celebrate that.
"We are appealing to all decent people from whatever background they come from to help us identify the individuals that are involved in this isolated attack."


Argentina remain on course to win their first Copa America title since 1993 after thrashing Paraguay to set up a final against tournament hosts Chile.

Marcos Rojo put Argentina ahead from Lionel Messi's free-kick and Javier Pastore made it 2-0 with a low shot.
Lucas Barrios pulled one back from 20 yards, but Angel Di Maria then netted twice, slotting in from Pastore's pass and then converting a rebound.
Sergio Aguero headed in a fifth and Gonzalo Higuain blasted in a sixth.
It was an impressive victory from Gerardo Martino's side as La Albiceleste moved into the Copa America final for the third time in four competitions and will play Chile in Santiago on 4 July.
Although he did not score, it was another influential performance from skipper Messi, who had a hand in three of the six goals.
His free-kick led to Rojo opening the scoring in the 15th minute and then the four-time World Player of the Year created the second with a jinking run before setting up the impressive Pastore.
Paraguay, 85th in the world rankings, had recovered from a two-goal deficit in their group game against Argentina, which ended 2-2.
Barrios, who scored a last-minute equaliser in that match, netted again, just before half-time with a fine effort from 20 yards out.
But there was to be no fightback this time. Early in the second half, Pastore released Di Maria who slid the ball underneath goalkeeper Justo Villar.
Argentina made it four as Messi led a counter attack and set up Pastore, whose shot fell to Di Maria to finish into an open goal.
Di Maria's cross was then headed in by Manchester City striker Aguero before substitute Higuain scored a stunning sixth to complete the rout.


A large number of bees were killed and more than two dozen hives were destroyed by fire in separate attacks.

A farm in the village of Sellindge in Kent found 26 hives had been burnt out and others stolen.
It is an attack thought to be linked to the theft of two hives from another farm nearby.
PC Daniel Mills from Kent Police said: "This damage is not only cruel but detrimental to the beekeepers who will suffer a financial loss."
A large number of bees were killed in the attacks, a police spokesman said.
The fires and thefts occurred between 11 and 14 June, police said.
Police have advised beekeepers to camouflage the hives behind hedges or tall fences or to paint them a muted colour.
They also suggested apiarists keep their hives out of view from main roads.


Irish airline Ryanair has reported a 25% rise in quarterly profits and says its full-year results will be at the top end of expectations.

Net profits for the three months to June were €245m (£174m), up from €197m a year earlier, it said.
Revenues in the quarter grew by 10% to €1.5bn.
The carrier now expects profit for the year to March 2016 to be at the upper end of its forecast of between €940m and €970m issued in May.
However, Ryanair added: "We caution... that this guidance, which is 12% ahead of last year's profit, is heavily reliant on the final outturn of H2 fares over which we currently have almost zero visibility."
In May, Ryanair reported a 66% rise in net profit €867m (£614m) saying its customer experience improvement programme "Always Getting Better" had attracted millions of new customers to Ryanair. Falling oil prices also cut the airline's costs.
Earlier this month, Ryanair accepted an offer from International Airlines Group (IAG) for its 29.8% stake in Aer Lingus.
The low-cost airline said its board had voted to accept the deal, saying the IAG offer, "maximises Ryanair shareholder value".


A terrorism suspect has appeared in court charged with three offences.

Aabid Ali, 48, went before Westminster Magistrates' Court on Friday.
Mr Ali, formerly known as Darren Glennon from Wrexham, is charged with two counts of possessing a document likely to be useful to a person preparing to commit an act of terrorism and encouragement of terrorism.
No pleas were entered and Mr Ali, originally from Manchester, was remanded in custody until 9 December.


The search for a Scots botanist missing in Vietnam is expected to resume later after being abandoned in heavy snow.

Jamie Taggart, from Argyll and Bute, failed to return from a plant-hunting trip to the northern mountainous area.
He has not been seen since 2 November, when his rucksack and passport were found at a guest house in Sapa.
Mr Taggart, 41, runs Linn Botanic Gardens in the village of Cove on the Rosneath peninsula and serves the area as a retained firefighter.
Local police and the British embassy in Hanoi have been informed about his disappearance.
Friend and fellow botanist Ian Sinclair, who has been liaising with the search parties, said they had been hampered by horrendous weather.
"The snow is continuing to melt, but there is a massive amount of snow damage to the forest such as collapsed trees," he said.
"The weather has been horrendous, with snow down to Sapa. This is extremely unusual as Sapa is upper tropical rainforest.
"A large group from the national park will be doing an intensive search once the snow melts."
A search due to begin on Tuesday will concentrate on four trails inside the forest of Lai Chau and Lao Cai, he said.
Family and friends of Mr Taggart in his hometown of Cove have issued an appeal for funds to help cover the cost of the search.
A Facebook page - Jamie Taggart Search - has also been set up.
Organisations and individuals have so far raised thousands of pounds, including six-year-old Annie Ferguson of Cove who donated her Â£14.50 savings.
The botanist's father, Jim Taggart, found out his son was missing when he failed to appear on a scheduled flight home to Scotland on 29 November.
He had arrived at a guest house in Sapa on 30 October and left on a motorbike taxi to explore the hills.
On 2 November his rucksack and passport were found at the accommodation.
Dr Taggart previously told BBC Radio Scotland that he had received a handful of text messages from his son before contact stopped.
"I don't think he had got lost. Either something happened to him on his first day on the hills or there is some explanation we can only guess at," he said.
A Foreign and Commonwealth Office spokesman said: "We are still in close contact with the local authorities and are providing consular assistance to the family at this difficult time."


After 10 years, several court cases, and a cost to the taxpayer of hundreds of thousands of pounds, an end appears to be in sight for this dogged pursuit of Prince Charles's black spider memos.

A final resolution will only be delayed if there's a referral on an issue of European law to the Court of Justice in Luxembourg.
If not, the prince's private letters will either remain confidential, as the sender intended, or they'll be exposed to a large and inquisitive audience.
His friends say he has a right and a duty to communicate with the government of the day.
His critics accuse him of meddling and argue the way he operates should be transparent.
One day, as things stand, he'll be king.
As that day draws closer, the influence Prince Charles attempts to exert on ministers - and attempt he does - has greater relevance and significance.


Dundee United lost ground on Championship leaders Hibernian as they failed to break down a stubborn and lively Morton side.

It was second versus third at Cappielow, and there was very little between the two teams.
Morton threatened through Jamie Lindsay and Mark Russell, but neither could beat United goalkeeper Cammy Bell.
Tony Andreu and Jamie Robson came closest for the visitors, but the breakthrough remained elusive.
Both sides would have been expecting an exacting test, since Morton were on a run of six consecutive league wins while United had won their last seven games.
The players might have been brimming with confidence, but the upshot was an encounter that quickly fell into a stalemate.
United were the more assertive at the outset, and midfielder Charlie Telford rifled an early shot just over. Morton are capable of being dogged, though, and their defence was built on the solid foundations of Thomas O'Ware and former United centre-back Gavin Gunning.
The home side's resurgence was also reliant on the clever movement and direct running of their front men, Gary Oliver and Jai Quitongo. Both were capable of alarming the United defence, and the latter would have been the reason why a number of scouts were due at the game.
As well as his strength and purpose, the first-half also saw evidence of his temper, as he threw the ball at United defender Mark Durning after a heavy challenge, prompting a yellow card from referee Crawford Allan.
United were marginally more incisive, with Blair Spittal - from a header - and Simon Murray, who finished tamely, both registering attempts on goal before the break.
As a cold rain fell ever more heavily, the game seemed stuck in its ways. The two sides even traded similar chances, with Morton midfielder Jamie Lindsay breaking through the United defence but shooting straight at goalkeeper Cammy Bell.
Then Scott Fraser found himself in a near-identical situation at the other end, and his effort was saved by Morton goalkeeper Derek Gaston.
He had to look lively again moments later, when Charlie Telfer slipped through Andreu and the United midfielder swept a shot on target that the goalkeeper saved.
Both sides pushed hard for a breakthrough, and United almost secured all three points in the closing stages, but Gaston was alert enough to block Robson's shot from the back post with his legs.
Morton's Jim Duffy: "For the first hour we played well. In the last half-hour, Dundee United got a grip of the game and started causing us problems. Derek Gaston had two or three fantastic saves, but in the first hour we probably just edged it.
"Dundee United might think they had clearer chances, and they probably did, but in the first half I thought we were slightly better. In the second half, they were better, so a decent point for us.
"Dundee United will be expected to challenge for the title. We're not at that level but in any given game we're tough opponents. Without being brilliant, we still made it tough for Dundee United and gave them a real competitive match.
"We needed a bit more composure in the first half when we had chances, and at set pieces we normally attack the ball better and we didn't capitalise on one or two opportunities. But in the last 20 minutes in particular, Dundee United had two or three great chances and one goal would probably have won it.
"It's November, it's far too early [to talk about making the play-offs] and far too many things can happen. Teams can start well and fall away and it can happen the other way around. At this moment in time, get as many points on the board, see where you are at the turn of the year and then we'll take it from there."
Dundee United's Ray McKinnon: "It was [frustrating], it's a tough place to come, Morton are on a good run and you can see why. They work extremely hard, but overall on chances we're disappointed not to take the three points.
"As the game goes on, it opens up and we played some nice football until that final third, when we just couldn't get it in the goal. On another day we probably would have won the game, but it's a difficult place to come, they're a good side, well organised with some dangerous players.
"Over the 90 minutes, we probably deserved to win the game [but] football's not like that, you don't always get what you deserve.
"In the last 30 minutes especially, [the players] really wanted to win that game and they gave everything. I'm pleased with that, I can't always get the result that I want, but I can get the attitude and the desire. We definitely had that today."

ET screenwriter Melissa Mathison has died of cancer, aged 65.

Mathison, who was previously married to Harrison Ford, won an Oscar nomination for best original screenplay for her work on the 1982 Steven Spielberg film.
"Melissa had a heart that shined with generosity and love and burned as bright as the heart she gave ET," said director Spielberg, in a statement.
Prior to her death, Mathison re-united with Spielberg to write the screenplay for his adaptation of Roald Dahl's BFG.
Mathison's screenwriting career began with the 1979 adaptation of The Black Stallion, starring Mickey Rooney.
She went on to pen the movie adaptation of The Twilight Zone, as well as adapting the Lynne Reid Bank's novel The Indian in the Cupboard (1995) and the screenplay to Martin Scorsese's 1997 Dalai Lama tale Kundun.
The BFG - due for release next year and starring Mark Rylance in the title role - marks Mathison's first screenwriting work in almost 20 years.
Nia Vardalos, actress and author of My Big Fat Greek Wedding, tweeted: "Melissa Mathison, thank you for leading the way for women who write, RIP."
"#RIPMelissaMathison" tweeted actor and comedian Patt. "You left a trail of Reese's Pieces that led a lot of my generation to the movies."
Mathison met Harrison Ford on the set of Francis Ford Coppola's cult 1979 film Apocalypse Now, on which she worked as an assistant. They married in 1983 and had two children, Georgia and Malcolm. The pair split in 2004.
Kundun producer Barbara De Fina called her death, "a great loss".
"She was a wonderful writer," she told Deadline. "The project was about the Dalai Lama but at the core was about a boy separated from his home. I think of her as being a great parent. The choices that she made were so interesting and unusual, and it was all about family.
"When I think of what she's written, it always comes back to family and home."
Spielberg credited much of ET's huge success to Mathison, saying on the DVD special edition: "It was a script I was willing to shoot the next day. It was so honest, and Melissa's voice made a direct connection with my heart."


Joke messages are appearing on empty roadposts on country lanes as part of an art project to highlight the number of empty signposts in Wales.

An anonymous artist from Carmarthenshire has installed 170 hoax notices on roads across Wales and the UK over the last two years.
The project aims to raise awareness of signposts left empty because they are too costly to remove.
The artist said the empty posts were a "very tangible symbol of neglect".
The fake signs have featured slogans saying "be kind", a warning worms may be "slippery and wriggly" as well as a birdbox in Swansea, which was disguised as a speed camera.
Despite the light-hearted messages of the signs, the artist said there is a serious issue behind the project, which he calls "Lonely Signpost".
He said: "The art works' intention is not to cause problems but merely to highlight the issue of 'empty signposts'.
"We almost do not see them until we start looking, then we see how widespread and obvious they are.
"Standing everywhere doing nothing, littering our beautiful countryside, a very tangible symbol of neglect."


Fraud allegations against the former deputy leader of Sandwell Council have been referred to police.

The award of 10 council houses since 1997 "seemed to all benefit members of Councillor [Mahboob] Hussain's family", the council said.
"Patterns of behaviour" looked like "conspiracy to defraud and/or misconduct in a public office", a council investigation report said.
Mr Hussain said the accusations were "purely politically-motivated".
The report further alleged another serving councillor, Babu Singh Bawa, and Mr Hussain "benefitted from a unique Compulsory Purchase Order [CPO] pilot scheme".

Both men expressed an interest in land in 1998 which became the subject of an exclusive bid for self-build plots a year later, the council said.
The only bids the council said it received for the plots in September 1999 were from St Paul's ward councillor Mr Bawa and Mr Hussain and their immediate family members.
For one plot, the four bids received were all from Mr Hussain and members of his family, according to the report.
"The bids gave the impression of potential cover pricing and bid suppression," the authority said.
Mr Hussain said the allegations were an attempt to "smear" his character and the council had published allegations which had "not been properly investigated".
He said he would "cooperate fully with any investigation because he had done nothing wrong".
The council said Mr Bawa later failed to declare his role as a councillor when a planning application was submitted on his behalf in October 2007.
Mr Bawa has not yet responded to a BBC request for comment.
The report said a separate potential alleged code of conduct breach should be looked into further by the council.
In February 2011 former economy chief councillor Ian Jones asked for a property to be removed from a public auction at the request of the then-council leader, now deceased, Darren Cooper and instead be sold to a family member of Councillor Mohammad Rouf at a price "significantly below" what it was eventually sold for under a sealed bid process a year later - also to a relative of Mr Rouf, the report said.
Mr Jones said he had had "no opportunity to see or understand any evidence of the allegations against him" before Wednesday's report and questioned the council's "impartiality in any investigation" as information he had previously provided "had not been pursued".
There was also a "breach of the council's financial regulations and procedures" due to an informal arrangement between former borough mayor Derek Rowley while he was a serving councillor, and a member of the public to sell four council-owned containers from Jubilee Park in Tipton, according to the council.
"Conflicting information" over the sums involved, and the fact both Mr Rowley and a former employee were no longer involved with the council, meant "there may be little advantage to be gained from pursuing this matter further at this stage", the report said.
"No fault" was meanwhile found in the actions of another councillor, Stephen Frear, over the award of a three-bed council house to him.
Oldbury ward councillor Mr Hussain and Mr Jones stood down from the borough's ruling cabinet after an earlier investigation into alleged irregularities in the sale of the council's former properties.
West Midlands Police confirmed the allegations were referred to the force on 3 January and were being reviewed. The BBC has contacted councillors Frear and Rouf.


Tackling online child abuse must be a top priority, a leading charity has said, after an investigation identified more than 500 potential victims.

Police Scotland seized 30 million indecent images and charged 77 people as part of Operation Lattise.
Children's charity NSPCC Scotland said the probe "underlined in really stark terms" the scale of the issue.
They said parents and teachers also had a key role in keeping children as safe online as they are offline.
Operation Lattise involved 134 separate investigations across Scotland between 6 June and 15 July, with the homes of 83 suspects raided.
Officers identified 523 potential victims of abuse, some as young as three, with 122 of them referred to child protection services.
One suspect had communicated with 110 children, while the seizure of one computer alone led to the recovery of 10 million indecent images.
NSPCC Scotland policy and public affairs manager Joanna Barrett said the charity was "increasingly concerned" about the harm that can be done to children over the internet.
She said: "The figures released yesterday underlined in really stark terms the scale of this type of offending and it just goes to show what a priority this needs to be.
"We would support further efforts by law enforcement to target people who would seek to harm children online, but we also need to look at what we can do to prevent such situations arising.
"How can we educate children to give them the skills and the resilience to deal with online situations to recognised the signs of potential abuse, but what more can we do with the industry?
"What more can the industry do to play their part in keeping children safe online?"
"We need to prioritise this as an issue, because yesterday's statistics show us that there is potential risk to children online, and we need to protect children and bring perpetrators to justice."
Ms Barrett said parents may find it difficult to discuss the internet with their children, but underlined the importance of doing so and setting safe parameters.
She said: "We talk about online safety, but I don't think we have a common understanding in what we mean. We haven't really uncovered the scale of it - yesterday was really only beginning to show us the scale of this type of offending.
"We really need to look at prevention, and that begins with conversations between parents and children about how to stay safe online.
"We've published guidance because parents can often feel overawed, their children can know more about the internet than they do. They need to talk about safe parameters, make sure privacy and filters are there, and start to have that conversation about keeping as safe in the online world as you would in the offline world."
Operation Lattise was Police Scotland's first nationwide effort to tackle online child sex abuse, but Assistant Chief Constable Malcolm Graham said the force's "commitment to tackling this horrific threat will continue".
He added: "Police Scotland is committed to Keeping Children Safe and the protection of children was absolutely at the heart of Operation Lattise.
"All children have a right to protection against abuse, exploitation, neglect and violence. We will continue to work with our partners to protect and promote the wellbeing of all children."


Nottingham Panthers defenceman Sam Oakford has gone from being a photocopying tea boy to making his Great Britain debut on Thursday.

Oakford, 25, was chosen for the Olympic pre-qualifier against the Netherlands.
"Two, three years ago I was sat in an office doing photocopying and making teas for people," he told BBC Radio Nottingham.
"I wasn't too sure that I'd get to represent a great club like Nottingham, let alone be in the national team."
Oakford, who played for Bracknall before joining Panthers in 2014, added: "For me to come here, it's just an amazing experience and I can't wait."


When the late Barry Sheene won the 1977 world motorcycling championship he was made an MBE, bought a 700-year-old manor house to live in with his model girlfriend and starred in a series of TV aftershave advertisements with boxer Henry Cooper.

In the 38 years since, Britain has won 89 Olympic gold medals, embraced four British Formula 1 champions, six Prime Ministers, four James Bonds, six - soon to be seven - Star Wars films and a 12m rise in population.
But it had not produced another Grand Prix motorcycling world champion in any class - until now.
Danny Kent is unlikely to have the TV offers rolling in just yet - in fact he was offered a MotoGP ride this winter with a salary of zero - but the 21-year-old's Moto3 title win has ended the long wait for GP glory in the UK.
He almost had to quit the sport at 14, endured a bad season while his dad was given months to live as he underwent cancer treatment, and struggles to attract any backing from British companies. So how has he done it?
Kent has already been racing for 15 years, starting out as a six-year-old at a local go-kart track in Swindon where his big sister now works.
A natural on two wheels, mum Tracey may have originally dismissed his interest as 'a five-minute wonder' but dad Martyn was more prophetic.
"I said the first time he sat on a bike that he'd make a racer," Martyn told BBC Sport.
And dad was right.
Soon Danny's parents bought him his first bike and he won his first race, showing the speed and lack of fear that saw him quickly move up the classes.
"It was just something Danny wanted to do and we followed it," said Tracey.
"We both never had anything like this when we were children so we were happy to support him for as long as we could. We said 'just follow your passion'."
But a family's support can only stretch so far. Trying to get sponsorship in the UK is "like trying to get blood out of a stone" says Tracey, and Kent was left with a very adult decision while still a child as the cost of racing in Europe began to take its toll.
"We told him when he was 13 or 14 that he had one more year, that was make or break time," Tracey said.
"He would either get picked up by a team and go professional, or give it up and concentrate on school. Luckily it went the way we wanted."
In his make-or-break year, 14-year-old Danny was spotted by the MotoGP academy in Spain. Within three laps of a trial he had impressed enough to earn a place in the Red Bull Rookies - a long-standing gateway to MotoGP - and in 2010 he finished the season in second place.
That earned him a place in the smallest class of grand prix racing - a class he has now won.
It has not all been so straight forward for Kent though.
In the 2013 season he made the step up to the 600cc Moto2 class where he struggled to 16 points all season, with a best result of 12th.
The then 19-year-old was criticised, but was dealing with bad news at home as dad Martyn underwent treatment for cancer.
Tracey said: "Martyn was given 12 weeks to live because of a huge aneurysm on his brain.
"We caught it just in time and he had major brain surgery. He couldn't fly or travel at all for a long time. Things aren't 100% still but he is alive and here to enjoy this.
"There were plenty of people slating Danny when he was having a bad time of it in Moto2 but he was flying all over the world knowing that his dad wasn't well. How many teenagers have to deal with that?
"It's not the life of glory that some people think. The amount of travelling is huge and it's very tiring - and he absolutely hates flying! But it can be such a short career. You have to enjoy it while you can, live the life."
In the 362 500cc/MotoGP races which have taken place since Kent's birth on 25 November 1993, a British rider stood on the podium just 13 times. With zero wins. To put that into perspective Valentino Rossi has 175 podium finishes in the top class all of his own.
"Why have we not had a British champion for so long? It's a question we've all asked for many years," says former BBC MotoGP commentator and Sheene's team-mate Steve Parrish.
"For many years there was a token British rider out there at best. This is a starting point - Danny Kent is the biggest step forwards in many years.
"His achievement is something we have to seriously recognise, and get behind him."
There have certainly been talented riders from the UK in the years between Sheene and Kent.
They have flourished in the rival World Superbike championship - where riders race bikes based on models you or I can buy in dealerships - winning nine championships since 1994, with this year's Northern Irish winner Jonathan Rea dominating a season in which British riders won 25 of 26 races.
Should Kent go on to join the current MotoGP crop of Cal Crutchlow, Bradley Smith, Scott Redding and Eugene Laverty it would be the strongest British representation for many years.
So will we have a champion in the top class any time soon?
There is one obstacle that emerges again and again - a lack of sponsorship and backing for British riders.
Kent will move up for his second shot at Moto2 in 2016 with his current Leopard Racing team but he was offered three rides in MotoGP next year.
At least one offer would have seen him earn nothing in the first year of his contract, with Kent - and other riders on the grid - expected to fund their own expenses through sponsorship.
Former MotoGP rider James Toseland, who helped Kent sort out a training regime and handed down his '52' number, says: "There will have been plenty of young talented British riders who will have had to give up on the dream over the last 10 years and it will get worse.
"If you want to travel business class and stay in nice hotels like MotoGP riders do, you can easily spend £50k a year.
"Add in a motorhome, fuel, insurance and a driver. If you do it properly, not scrimping, you won't get much change out of £100k.
"So if you are offered no wages, you have to find personal sponsorship to cover all that before you start, and then hope that you do well enough to earn a better deal in year two.
"You can start racing at five or six years old, dedicate your life to it and get to the level of being a Moto3 world champion at 18, 19 years old and by 21 you could have nothing to show for it.
"Talent should be looked after much better. The level of investment for parents to get their son or daughter to the top level, you can easily put a hole in half a million quid.
"And to earn half a million back from a career in motorcycling is certainly not easy these days. If you can't recoup that investment, even if you are a world champion, then it is an impossible task."
Kent's parents say they "haven't a clue" how much his fledgling career cost them personally, but advise any parents of a future star to head to the continent as soon as they can. Kent counts most of his sponsorship from Luxembourg and the Czech Republic.
Parrish doesn't see the story changing in the near future.
"We get poor media coverage in the UK, we don't have good weather and nobody wants their children riding motorbikes," he said.
"We need to find better support and backing. There are no big British companies supporting MotoGP and I'm afraid that I don't see that changing as now it is not on terrestrial television the big companies aren't seeing it.
"The only way the sport will get bigger is if we have someone capable of challenging for the MotoGP title, winning races week in, week out."
Will Danny Kent be that man? Time will tell. But if he can become the first British winner of a MotoGP race since Sheene's victory in Sweden in 1981, perhaps the Rolls Royces and lucrative TV adverts will follow.


The European Commission has given the go-ahead to the takeover of Vauxhall and Opel brands by France's PSA Group, maker of Peugeot and Citroen cars.

European Commission said it had "unconditionally approved" Peugeot's move to buy the European division of General Motors (GM).
It said it had concluded that "the transaction would raise no competition concerns in the relevant markets".
Vauxhall employs 4,500 people in the UK at plants in Ellesmere Port and Luton.
Elsewhere in Europe, Opel employs about 33,500 staff in Germany, Poland, Hungary, Austria, Spain and Italy.
GM agreed the sale of its European division, on which it has not made a profit since 1999, to Peugeot in March.
In 2016 it lost $257m (Â£206m), making it the 16th consecutive loss-making year for GM in Europe, bringing its cumulated losses on the continent since 2000 to more than $15bn.
The deal will mean that Peugeot becomes Europe's second-biggest carmaker, after Volkswagen.
It will enable the firm to boost its presence in the UK and to re-enter the US market, which Citroen left in 1974 and Peugeot exited in 1991.
In its statement, the European Commission said that in terms of the manufacture and sale of motor vehicles, the two firms had a combined market share of more than 40% in only two national markets, Estonia and Portugal, for small commercial vehicles.
"In the other affected markets, the market shares remain small," it added.
"The Commission investigation also showed that the merged entity will still face strong competition from manufacturers such as Renault, Volkswagen, Daimler, Ford, Fiat and various Asian competitors."


The UK's biggest supermarket group, Tesco, has agreed to buy the UK’s biggest food wholesaler, Booker Group, in a £3.7bn deal.

The firms said the deal would create the "UK's leading food business".
Booker Group is the UK's largest cash and carry operator, and supplies everything from baked beans to teabags to 700,000 convenience stores, grocers, pubs and restaurants.
Booker also owns the Premier, Budgens and Londis convenience-store brands.
Live: Reaction to Tesco deal
What does Booker Group do?
By combining with Booker Group, Tesco is expanding beyond its traditional food retailing business and making strides into the restaurant and takeaway food sectors.
"Wherever food is prepared and eaten - 'in home' or 'out of home' - we will meet this opportunity with the widest choice and best service available," said Tesco chief executive Dave Lewis.
Mr Lewis said rising prices from suppliers had played no part in the decision to sign the deal.
Speaking to the BBC's Today programme, Mr Lewis said he believed the transaction would not face a challenge from competition authorities, as it would not result in Tesco owning any more stores, and he dubbed it a "low risk" merger.
But others were not so sure. One UK supermarket executive told the BBC the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) "may not like the idea of one company's products in so many convenience stores".
Satyen Dhana, a competition partner with law firm CMS said the CMA will look "very carefully" at the deal.
"Whilst Tesco and Booker do operate in largely different segments, the CMA is likely to examine where the parties overlap and if the enhanced new business becomes a must-have trading partner for customers and suppliers.
"Tesco may not be owning any more stores, but potentially it becomes a key supplier to a large number of independent convenience stores that may compete at the local level with its own stores.
"Suppliers of goods to Tesco and Booker may also want the CMA to consider if the transaction now combines two of their largest customers," Mr Dhana added.
A spokesman for the CMA said: "We do not comment on potential investigations."
Retailers are eyeing the deal with interest.
James Lowman, chief executive of the Association of Convenience Stores said the merger is "hugely significant".
"Some retailers will welcome this news, others will be concerned about competing with stores supplied through the merged Booker and Tesco business, and some will be uneasy at the prospect of working in partnership with one of their biggest historical competitors."
Investors welcomed the surprise announcement, sending Tesco's shares up 10% in morning trade.
Under the terms of the cash and shares deal, Booker shareholders will end up owning about 16% of the combined group.
"The deal with Booker shows Tesco is not going to sit on its hands and wait for its dominant market position to slowly leak away to competitors," said Laith Khalaf, senior analyst at Hargreaves Lansdown.
"The UK's supermarkets are engaged in new strategies to cope with the brave new world, where the discounters have stolen market share and consumers have turned away from big superstores, preferring instead to do their shopping in convenience stores or on their mobile phones.
"Sainsbury bought Argos, Morrisons is flirting with Amazon, and now Tesco has revealed its plans to drive further growth."


A man charged after the theft of money from purses at a Remembrance Sunday event at Aberdeen harbour has been freed.

The incident happened at the Aberdeen Sea Cadets base at Pocra Quay.
Police Scotland had described it as a "disgraceful incident".
Police said a 34-year old man was expected to appear at Aberdeen Sheriff Court, but the Crown Office later said he was freed from custody pending further inquiries.


Tournament favourite Judd Trump has been knocked out of the World Championship by world number 54 Rory McLeod in a remarkable first-round 10-8 win.

Media playback is not supported on this device
McLeod, a 46-year-old 1000-1 outsider, led 9-7 when slow play meant the match had to be halted prior to Wednesday's afternoon session.
An out-of-sorts Trump won a scrappy opening frame when their match resumed in the evening, but the Leicester man sealed what he called "the biggest win of his career" to reach the last 32.
Earlier, former world champion Graeme Dott earned a tense 10-7 victory over two-time finalist Ali Carter.
As exciting as the Dott-Carter contest was, it never got close to reproducing the drama between Trump and rank outsider McLeod, who has only previously reached the second round at the Crucible once in his long career.
Trump, the 2011 runner-up, has reached five major finals this season and was full of confidence about his chances of claiming a first Crucible title in the build-up to snooker's showpiece occasion.
He resumed 5-4 behind on Wednesday after surrendering a 4-0 lead but, despite seeming to be hindered by a shoulder problem, the 27-year-old managed to fight back to 6-6 before McLeod pulled away
McLeod has only qualified for the World Championship three times in his long career.
But his astute matchplay and meticulous approach seemed to disrupt Trump, who was uncharacteristically wayward with his long potting and sloppy with his break building when he did get in the balls.
"It's brilliant. I was relaxed at 4-0. He was potting everything. There is not much you can do so you have to bide your time," McLeod said after the match.
"Maybe I went into zombie mode because I didn't know the score - if it was 4-4 or 5-4.
"I tried not to think about things too much. You have to dismiss the pressure."
McLeod plays Scotland's Stephen Maguire in the second round.
Earlier Carter took the opening frame to reduce the overnight gap to 6-4 against Dott and the Essex potter kept nagging away at the qualifier to get back to 8-7.
But Dott edged a pivotal 16th frame when both men wasted good chances and went on to consign Carter to a first last-32 exit since 2006 - the year Dott was crowned champion.
"I love it here," said Dott. "I am not the best at anything, long potting, safety or break building. But I am pretty good at everything, and over the long games that is what you need.
"My season can be absolute garbage and then I come here and I feel like a snooker player."
Elsewhere, Neil Robertson, the 2010 champion, cruised into an 8-1 lead against World Championship debutant Noppon Saengkham in a match that plays to a conclusion on Thursday.
China's Xiao Guodong beat Ryan Day, the only Welshman who qualified for this year's tournament.
Xiao led 6-3 after the morning session and remained fully in control to ensure there is no Welsh representation in the second round of the World Championship for the first time since 1969.
The other evening match was an all-English encounter with 2013 runner-up Barry Hawkins leading Leicester's Tom Ford 7-2 when play ended for the day.


With one day to go until polling day, first time voters in Wales are being urged to turn out.

Across the UK, there are an estimated 3.3m people eligible to vote for the first time on 7 May.
Since last summer, the Electoral Commission has been working with student bodies and youth groups to encourage them to use their vote.
Traditionally, 18-24 years olds are least likely to turn out, with 44% making it to the ballot box at the 2010 general election.
A range of schemes have been launched to try and get young people more involved in politics, using apps, video blogging and social media campaigns.
Ebun Bola-Shadipe, Cardiff community engagement officer for Bite the Ballot, a not-for-profit movement encouraging young people to vote, said: "In Wales, there are approximately 298,000 18-24 year olds.  Just imagine if they all went out and voted.
"Let's take the opportunity on Thursday to make a change, let's make sure we're represented and prove to decision-makers that we want more from our democracy.
"If young people in Wales want change then they need to get out and vote."
However, fears are mounting that turnout among young people will fall at this election, with changes to the way people register to vote meaning tens of thousands are missing from the electoral roll.
The Electoral Reform Society has warned that Wales is facing a "turnout time-bomb", calling for a "radical overhaul" of politics teaching in schools.
NUS Wales is planning a big campaign for 7 May to get its members out to vote.
Tara Edwards, 18, and Lyam England are eligible to vote for the first time on 7 May.
But while Lyam is determined to do so, Tara is not so sure.
The students at Coleg Sir Gar in Llanelli, Carmarthenshire, debated the issue face to face.
"I don't really have that much of an interest in politics - I'm not sure what they're going on about half the time," Tara said.
"I feel like my vote would be a waste, so I'll leave it to people who know what they're talking about."
Tara said most of her friends will not vote either as they believe that politicians do not do enough to target them.
"I don't feel like I should have to go to them - they should come to me and get me interested.
"If they came to colleges and talked to groups of young people in a more informal and simple way, they'd get more young people on board."
Lyam, on the other hand, thinks it is "really important to have a voice".
"As a young person we have to remember that we're the future. It may be old people who vote the most, but it will be us who experience what they vote for."
He believes first time voters should "stand up, take some responsibility for our country and go out there and vote."
