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.

Many Catholics also migrated to the Americas and they were more successful in spreading Catholicism than the Protestants were in Protestantism.

Protestants, however, broke during the Protestant Reformation, which can be considered to start around 1517. The Protestant split involved much deeper doctrinal changes that make Protestantism farther from Catholicism than Eastern Orthodoxy.
