Best Answer

Maryland was originally founded as a Catholic Haven in the New World by Lord Baltimore. One of his goals was to create a land with free practice of religion. As such it was highly tolerant until Puritans took control of the government and promptly passed a series of laws that virtually made it illegal to be a Catholic.
