[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think this is highly regional. I’m a second generation Irish-American on my dad’s side. Growing up in New England, I barely knew any Protestants, let alone Irish ones. Irish Protestants live in the South.[/quote] Very much so. The South is mostly Ulster Irish. The Irish Catholics who came in large numbers in the 19th century mostly went to northern cities especially New England. According to the Wikipedia article on Irish Americans: n the Southern United States, Protestants account for 73% of those claiming Irish origins, while Catholics account for 19%. In the Northern United States, 45% of those claiming Irish origin are Catholic, while 39% are Protestant.[/quote]
