Same as the last Romans on Hadrian's Wall...nuthin' changes..."My legions Westmoreland my legions...give me back my legions" misquote of Augustus to Varus after the Teuterburger-Wald disaster of 9AD. Sadly applied to Viet Nam-- 50,000+ dead (10 legions to Varus's 3) but he at least had the grace and self respect to to do himself in!

Probably not.

They were the blue bloods of Britain who left because the king had made Catholicism the national religion and we all know how well the Protestants get along with the Catholics.

Oh dear oh dear.
Are you confusing catholics with the protestant church of England and the protestant dissenters who rejected the epicopalian protestantism of the state religion?
You also seem to be confusing Mary who was a woman that had a very short reign as queen with some male person which is what a king is.

Its a very confusing period of history.
Look on the brightside. As Stephen Fry put it, you didn't really have people fleeing religious persecution, you had people going to the colonies so they could set up their own flavour of religious persecution, but some clever folks ruined their dream when they wrote a little thing banning establishment of religion.
