Best Answer

The Chesapeake colonies never really did emphasize religious affiliations, but the colony of Maryland was one of the few that did. Maryland was created as a haven for persecuted Catholics by Cecilius Calvert(Lord Baltimore). He brought about the Maryland Act of Toleration for Catholics, and all other religious affiliations.
