    Right... Just like Whites were the allies of Blacks in the south in the early middle of the 20th century because you could see a few white guys at the March on Washington. We were the bad guys, but a few of us had some sense.

    Um... what? Presbyterians and all other Protestant dissenters for that matter were placed under the same restrictions as Catholics by the Anglican elite until the Toleration Act of 1689, but which time the majority of the emigration had taken place.
    At the end of the day politics is just trash compared to the Gospel.

    You're both partly right, the Puritans were part of the CofE at the time (just as the Evangelicals are today), and were not placed under restrictions. However, the paid immigrants were, irrc, High Church in the main, certainly the new landowners were.

    Even so, a certain amount of the Calvinstically infected did make their way to Ireland, and this is why you have both a significant Anglo-Catholic and Calvinistic population today.
