Virginia wasn't Catholic- you're likely thinking of Maryland. Virginia, I believe, was pretty Episcopal. The Southern colonies were largely Presbyterian, and later Baptist and Methodist, with various others thrown in, especially along the seaboard. And, I might note, the South never did like the now hated Puritans- and only part of it was slavery. New Englander's tended to have a dim view of Southern culture as a whole.

Amazing, even then New England thought they were better than everybody else. Thanks for the corrected info.
