Best Answer

Maryland became a haven for Catholics in 1634. A few years later, the Toleration Act of 1649 was passed. No matter what the Catholics believed, they were free to continue practicing their faith as this act prevented them from imprisonment. On the other hand many Protestants were also settling in Maryland until it outnumbered the Catholics. This was the beginning of religious freedom in America.
