George Calvert, also known as Lord Baltimore, asked King Charles I for land in North America to establish a colony as a refuge for English Catholics facing persecution. He envisioned a place where religious freedom could thrive and where settlers could cultivate the land and develop a prosperous community. This request ultimately led to the founding of the Maryland colony in 1632, which became known for its tolerance and diversity.

Who were Maryland's early leaders?
The Calvert family was given a charter to start the colony in 1632 by the British King of the time (I think it as King George II, but don't quote me on that). Maryland was a proprietary colony meaning that the king would give then a charter and land in exchange for running the colony in the name of the motherland, Britain.

The four month's voyage carried between 200 and 300 passengers.The charter that Lord Baltimore received in 1632 from King Charles I of England specified a name for the new colony.
