The Age of Exploration and European Imperialism of the Americas occurred just before the Protestant Reformation. The Americas presented a new start for non-Catholics, which is why many Protestants migrated to these new colonies (particularly in North America in the British colonies). Many Catholics also migrated to the Americas and they were more successful in spreading Catholicism than the Protestants were in Protestantism.
