The Catholic Church was vocal in their want to be left alone, Bishop John Hughes stated, "I am no friend of slavery, but I am still less friendly to any attempt of foreign origin to abolish". Ignatiev gave other examples where the Catholic Church was influential in convincing the immigrants that loyalty to America came before loyalty to Ireland. Ignatiev portrayed O"Connell as a strong supporter of abolition in the beginning then becoming confused if it was acceptable to receive money from slaveholders for his own cause, repeal. Many characters which were presented in the book had some sort of confusion as to where their true loyalty lay. O"Connell's credibility lost luster and former American supporters abandoned him claiming that O"Connell was becoming greedy, not caring who the money came from.
Ignatiev's method worked well for this chapter, it showed Daniel O"Connell as a very active abolitionist unable to convince his former countrymen to join him in his fight. It was a good example overall in support of the immigrants desire to become accepted even if it meant losing their original homeland. Their need for belonging grew and the following chapter demonstrated an interesting concept.
In Chapter Two, Ignatiev explained the discrimination against the Irish in their own country and proved that they learned color discrimination in America; it was not brought over from Ireland. The Irish were treated poorly by the Protestants; it was a religion, country and class discrimination. Many Irish were in support of the blacks gaining freedom in American, they considered them to be their brothers in a fight from oppression. Ignatiev gave a good example showing the whites and blacks getting along in close quarters. Men of all races were imprisoned and no racial outbreaks were reported, "during the entire period from 1815 to 1830, there was not a single battle between black and white prisoners".
