Offer a haven for certain religious groups.
Most early settlers came to the colonies of Maryland, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and Rhode Island primarily for religious freedom. Maryland was established as a haven for Catholics, Massachusetts attracted Puritans seeking to practice their faith, Pennsylvania was founded by Quakers advocating for religious tolerance, and Rhode Island attracted various dissenters seeking refuge from religious persecution. Additionally, these colonies offered opportunities for land and economic advancement, but the quest for religious liberty was a driving force behind their establishment.
Noted for its establishment for the religious freedom of Catholics, the Maryland Colony's first leader was George Calvert, 1st Baron Baltimore. His son Cecilius retained the charter, and the first Catholic Mass in the colonies was led by Father Andrew White.

While some settlers in North Carolina were indeed poor tobacco farmers from Maryland, the population was diverse and included individuals from various backgrounds. Many early settlers were also from Virginia and other colonies, attracted by the promise of land and opportunity. The economy was influenced by agriculture, but not solely limited to tobacco farming, as other crops and industries emerged over time.
The early settlers came to Canada in the 17th century, starting in the early 1600s with the arrival of French explorers and fur traders. Later, British settlers arrived in the 18th century, gradually establishing colonies and settlements across the country.
