The colonists who founded Maryland primarily spoke English, as the colony was established by English settlers in 1634. The colony was founded by Lord Baltimore, a Catholic nobleman, and aimed to provide a refuge for English Catholics facing persecution. While English was the dominant language, there were also interactions with Indigenous peoples and possibly some use of their languages.

The Connecticut colony was founded by English Puritan settlers rather than Dutch traders. However, the Dutch had established a presence in the region through the Dutch West India Company, particularly in New Amsterdam (modern-day New York). The English settlers, including notable figures like Thomas Hooker, left Massachusetts Bay Colony in the 1630s to establish Connecticut, seeking greater religious and political freedom. Thus, while Dutch traders influenced the area, the colony itself was primarily founded by English colonists.

No. The Mayflower Compact was signed by the English Separatists and settlers who founded Plymouth Colony, in 1620. It was not related to any war.
