Interesting question, but totally off the wall. There is no way that the establishment of the Anglican Church every pleased any Catholic, moderate or otherwise, as the Anglican Church is just another protestant church dressed up in Catholic vestments.

How and why did people try to assassinate Elizabeth?
Both religious and political - Elizabeth had set up an Anglican Church which was moderately protestant - her aim was to set up a church which would be acceptable to all Protestants. The problem was she was the head of the Church and by doing this excluded all Catholics. Elizabeth tried to enforce this with an Act of Uniformity in 1552 which enraged many Catholics because if they were not Anglican they would not be considered loyal subjects. This helped to give a reason for Spain to try and attack England with the Armada in 1558. Moreover, Mary Queen of the Scots was a possible Catholic heir and the French wanted her to dethrone Elizabeth in a coup.

Why did the Catholics immigrate to America?
Both religions came to America trying to find separation from the English religious turmoil. Not all Protestants came to America at first, but the non-Anglican sects did because they did not want to admit King Henry VIII was the head of the Church of England. The Catholics came over mainly when Maryland was created originally intended to be a haven for Catholics but, because of financial regions, had both Protestants and Catholics. Eventually, lots more people wanted to come over.
