Catholics in England sought to move to America primarily due to religious persecution and a lack of freedom to practice their faith openly. The Protestant Reformation and subsequent laws marginalized Catholics, leading to discrimination and social exclusion. The New World offered the promise of religious tolerance and the opportunity to establish communities where they could worship freely and live according to their beliefs. Additionally, economic opportunities in America attracted many seeking a better life.

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.
