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.
