Catholics.
Lord Baltimore, from England, established Maryland as a haven for Catholics in the New World.
Lord Baltimore wanted Maryland to be a sanctuary for disenfranchised Roman Catholics. Roman and Orthodox Catholicism was not popular in the American colonies.
well it was baltimore
That's a very good question. Actually it's because Lord Baltimore we rejected to being a catholic so he attempted to settle in Virginia. Which of course is where he wanted to form Maryland. Thanks, and I hope I answered your question! :D
== == So Roman Catholics could live there and so Lord Baltimore could make a profit so Roman Catholics could live there and so they could make a profit from the people who come to Maryland They converted to Catholicism and wanted a haven persecution. They thought it would be ''Land Of Sanctuary''
He wanted to create a haven for English Catholics and make a profit.
Maryland was founded by Lord Baltimore. It was founded because it was made for religious freedom for catholics. I know its a short answer but it answers the question! Hope its helpful :)
Lord Baltimore wanted to freely practice Catholicism, which was not allowed in England.
Lord Baltimore financed the Maryland colony. It was a time of religious wars in Europe and he wanted to create a safe haven for Catholics. In the beginning years of the colony, there were problems between Catholics, Anglicans, Quakers and Puritans.
To escape religious persecution.
George Calvert not only wanted to settle somewhere where the climate was similar to England's, but he also wanted a place for people to be free of religious persecution and he also hoped that people would appreciate each other.
=He wanted to find a safe place for his fellow Catholics and he thought the colony would give him some fortune=
