Answer:
Catholic immigrants faced special prejudice from many Americans for a variety of reasons.
Protestants were concerned that America might become a "Catholic" country. The Catholic church made an effort to welcome the new Catholic immigrants, helping them find homes and jobs, teaching them English in Catholic schools, and holding religious and social events. Catholic churches appeared in every neighborhood.
Protestants were also concerned that the Catholics were influenced by their priests and voted the way the priests told them to.
Catholics were feared as villains, fighters, boss controlled, prone to alcoholism, and dependent on street gangs.
