Protestants, by a huge margin. England, the mother country, had changed from Catholicism in the 1500s. Of the original 13 colonies, Maryland was begun as a haven for the remaining (and persecuted) English Catholics, though Maryland could not exclude members of other religions. There were few Catholics elsewhere in the original colonies, and few came to America before the potato blight struck Ireland in the 1840s. Th Irish began then to immigrate in very large numbers in the 1840s and were the first large Catholic group in the US. Most of these arrived and lived in the north and fought in the northern armies, causing resentment of "foreign hirelings" in the south. There was also a wave of Immigration following a number of failed revolutions in Europe n 1848; many of these immigrants were German and some were Catholic. Again these new Americans lived mostly in and fought for the north, and were called "Hessians" by southerners, borrowing a term from the American Revolution.
