They were similar in that both differed from the Anglo-Protestant "norms" of the United States and faced a degree of hostility and alienation as a consequence. They were different in that the Irish at least spoke English but on the other hand were much more associated with Catholicism, the latter earning them the particular enmity of nativists.
