The Puritans left England and came to America so they could have the right to worship freely.
There wasn't a predominant religion in the colony of Delaware. Catholics, Protestants and Jews all freely practiced their religions there.
To ensure Marlyands's continued growth,Lord Baltimore welcomed Protestants as well as Catholics to the colony.Later on, Lord Baltimore came to fear that Protestants might try to deprive Catholics of their right to worship freely. In 1649, he asked the assembly to pass an Act Of Toleration. The act provided religious freedom for all Chistians. As in Many Colonies,this freedom did not extend to Jews.
