1840's-1850's
Migrate!
Irish catholics started to migrate to the us (Canada also) in an enormous increasing rate (1/3 of the total immigrants were Irish catholics)
Americans then started to worry (at this rate) that Irish-catholics would take over the U.S. by replacing them at their jobs, first, then in politics, and finally on their religious status (just like today happens to be with Mexicans, the only difference is that people back then were more concerned about religion that anything else)1849 the order of star-spangled banner
They insisted on making antirish-catholic laws in order to stop them from outbreeding, outvoting, and overwhelming protestant-americans (which was true at a cerntain level, but they were overexagerating everything, so they would gain support) some include:
extrict & rigid restrictions on Immigration and citizenship
Laws authorizing deportation
The order even went so far as to engage in church attacks by burning them and killing irish-catholics (not legal, though).
What else can I help you with?
How did Americans react to the Irish immigrants and what laws were passed?
As Irish immigration in America was rising due to the potato famine, a thing called nativism was occurring. Nativism was the defense of native-born people(Americans), but hostility to the foreign born(Irish). Nativists were racist and claimed that the Irish were stealing jobs from the native labor force. So, the Native American Party(no affliction with Indians) rose up to challenge this "alien menace." There were also known as the Know-Nothings. They didn't really do much damage and subsided as the Whigs came to power. I believe no laws were passed. All this was happening during Jackson's presidency.
How did immigrants react to the accusations made by nativists?
Immigrants worked hard to fit in to society.
