I think it's The Battle of Boyne, at the River Boyne, a few miles west of Drogheda, in 1690. It was certainly the most historically significant except for maybe the "Black and Tan " war.

Why are there more protestants than Catholics in the US?
For one Protestant is an umbrella term that refers to any of the numerous denominations that sprung up after the Reformation, and Catholics are only one single Church. Additionally the majority of settlers in the US originally were from England, and England is a very Protestant Nation that has at many times throughout their history openly persecuted Catholics. But this is not the case in areas of the US that were settled primarily by either the French or Spanish or in areas that the original British Protestants were displaced by Catholics such as in areas like New York and Boston. However Catholicism still remains the largest single Church in the United States.
