USA HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -Explanation: During the late nineteenth century, many Irish immigrants were discriminated against for being-Roman Catholics. This is because, during that period, catholicism was deemed to have too many chains of command which do not align well with the conventional American equality principles.

Detailed explanation-2: -While approximately 1 million perished, another 2 million abandoned the land that had abandoned them in the largest-single population movement of the 19th century. Most of the exiles-nearly a quarter of the Irish nation-washed up on the shores of the United States.

Detailed explanation-3: -The religion of Irish immigrants was Roman Catholicism, although there were some Protestants. The Irish faced hardship and discrimination because they made up a small population of Roman Catholics in a sea of Protestant Americans.

Detailed explanation-4: -Why was the Church important to Irish Catholic immigrants? Priests provided help with writing letters back home to Ireland and to find accomodation. The Church was a place of comfort while families were experiencing dreadful living and working conditions. The Church also supported the poor.

Detailed explanation-5: -Ill will toward Irish immigrants because of their poor living conditions, and their willingness to work for low wages was often exacerbated by religious conflict. Centuries of tension between Protestants and Catholics found their way into United States cities and verbal attacks often led to mob violence.
