In the nineteenth century, in the US, many immigrants were treated badly. This was especially true for Irish immigrants. One large reason that they were mistreated was the fact that most of them were Catholics. The Protestant majority in the US despised and feared Catholics. Later on, Chinese immigrants were also treated badly.
