Immigrants primarily came from Ireland and Germany.

Explanation: During the mid-1800s (especially the 1840s–1850s) large numbers of immigrants arrived from Ireland (e.g., due to the Potato Famine) and Germany. They tended to settle in Northern cities rather than Southern ones, and many Irish immigrants were Catholic (so the statement that they tended to be Protestant or that they distrusted Catholic institutions is incorrect).
