A) were almost uniformly Catholics.
B) usually worked in the West Indies before moving to the mainland colonies.
C) were not only poor farmers but also physicians, merchants, and teachers.
D) did little to add to the religious diversity in America.
E) represented only a fraction of the immigration to the colonies.

Scottish and Scots-Irish immigrants were not only poor farmers but also physicians, merchants, and teachers. They added to the diversity and complexity of the colonial population. They were not almost uniformly Catholics, they did not usually work in the West Indies before moving to the mainland colonies, and they were not the only immigrants to the colonies. There is no evidence to suggest that they did little to add to the religious diversity in America.
