America had close to zero Catholics at its founding and they didn’t start showing up in numbers until the mid 1800s, our culture had centuries to develop as American, before immigration started changing us in the mid 1800s.

It's evident throughout the whole Anglosphere. Western prairie Canada is more "American" than Quebec.

Back then the KKK hated Catholics as much as they did blacks.

America had close to zero Catholics . . .Not so. One colony (Maryland) was founded as a refuge for Catholics. Charles Carroll invested his personal fortune in the American Revolution and was the only Catholic signor of the Declaration of Independence and the longest surviving signor.
His co-religionists were not a few of the Maryland militia.

I double down on the Maryland contribution of Catholics - until the WASPs squelched it officially well before the Revolution.
But regardless, there were plenty of Catholics.

Maryland was founded as a colony for Catholics specifically in 1634. Lots of English Catholics like my ancestors came to Jamestown during and shortly after the English Civil War because they didn't want to live under the tyrant Cromwell and the joyless, humorless, self righteous, intolerant, Puritans....just like the ones in New England. Naturally they sided with King James, so when the Roundheads won, the Cavaliers came to Jamestown (why do you think UVA chose Cavaliers as their mascot?). My family was one of those that left and came to Jamestown in 1649.

America had close to zero Catholics at its founding Untrue. Maryland was a Catholic colony; John Carroll, governor.
