How did the conflict between Catholics and Protestants in Ireland affect the people living there?
It wasn't so much between Catholics and protestants as between Irish (who were mostly Catholic) and Englishmen (who were mostly protestant). The Irish objected to the English (and their descendants) living in their country and oppressing them, particularly as English law suppressed the Catholic faith, and the practice thereof. It made life particularly difficult for Irish Catholics for whom the practice of their faith was illegal. One of the unforeseen benefits was, that for the most part, the Catholic faith of the Irish was particularly strong, comparable to the oppressed Catholics in Poland. As the Catholics have gained ascendancy, they have started to lose their faith and become indistinguishable from other modern people.

There was never any official name change.
When the civil war started was there more catholics or protestants?
In the United States there were more Protestants than Catholics at the start of the Civil War. The great immigration of Roman Catholics to the United States came after the First Vatican Council. The Bishop of Arkansas voted No when the issue of Papal infallibility was raised. He was one of 2 Bishops to vote against the measure. For some reason a number of Catholics wanted to come to a country that had freedom of religion and where the Pope had no political power. I have no idea why.
Why didn't the Catholics and protestants get along when the Protestants first arrived?
Protestants didn't "arrive", Catholic and Protestants are both Christians, Protestant is a religion started by Martin Luther(not King just Martin Luther) who was originally a catholic but thought the Catholic ways were un-godly and not of the Bible so he started Protestant which mean Protest because they Protested against the Pope, the religion spread in mainly the north of Europe and also part of France.
