The only colony in North America that was founded as a haven for Catholics was Maryland. Established in 1632 by Cecil Calvert, the second Lord Baltimore, Maryland was intended to provide religious freedom for Catholics facing persecution in England. The colony's charter allowed for a degree of self-governance and included protections for religious minorities, making it a unique refuge during a time of widespread religious conflict.
