French Catholics participated in the exploration and colonization in the Mississippi Valley. Maryland was settled in 1634 and was established in 1649. Catholic's were unwelcomed in and even execluded from many other colonies. Congregational or Episcopal churches were suported by law.
Catholics weren't allowed to apply for jobs. After the large influx of the Irish in the middle of the 19th century many catholic children were educated in public schools. Catholics weren't alllowed to read bibles in school. They were mocked in classsrooms. In New York City catholic's were known by violent people, especially the Irish people. In 1839 the "American Bible Society" ordered that the bible was to be read in every classroom of the nation. A catholic boy was beated because he didn't want to read the bible; King James version of the Ten Commandments.
Catholic's were mistreated very bad. They weren't allowed to apply for jobs especially the Irish people. Catholic children were not allowed to read bible in school. Catholic's and Irish people were known by violent people. People laughed at catholic people and children. Catholic's felt very bad.
