They werent Anglo-Protestants.

Fun fact: when Italians came to America, many banks refused to work with them, so they made their own bank called Bank of Italy. Eventually this bank became successful and changed its name to Bank of America, which obviously still exists today

Thanks, America. You alienated the Italian Americans, and they ended up giving us that terrible mega bank.

They spoke a foreign language, were poor, and practiced Catholicism.
