I need some help with numbers and ideology relating to the Irish of North America in the early 1800s. Anyone know enough to help me out?
What are your specific questions?
I'm not an expert on the matter, but according to Wikipedia's article on Irish Americans, "an estimated 250,000 migrated to United States during the colonial era. Only 20,000 immigrants of these immigrants from Ireland were Catholics."
It sounds like Irish immigrants were mostly of Protestant ("Scotch-Irish") origin until the 1840s, when the Famine struck.
