In the 1920s, groups such as the Ku Klux Klan and the American Legion opposed Immigration, fueled by the Red Scare and a belief in the superiority of white Protestant Americans. They viewed immigrants, particularly those from Southern and Eastern Europe, as threats to American values and social cohesion. This nativist sentiment was marked by a desire to preserve what they saw as a homogenous American identity, leading to restrictive immigration policies and widespread discrimination. Their fears were exacerbated by the rise of communism and labor unrest, which they linked to immigrant populations.

Do Protestants consider themselves to be better than Catholics?

Well that would depend on who you ask. Some Protestants would consider themselves to be better than Catholics but other Protestants would not. That said, most Protestant churches do believe that their doctrines are better than the doctrines of the Catholic Church. In other words, some Protestants believe that their doctrine is true but the Catholic Church's same doctrine on said topic is false incorrect in a not totally false way so in one sense, some Protestant churches do believe that they are better than Catholic churches but when it comes to individual Protestants versus individual Catholics, it varies from person to person.
