The Southern Baptist Convention became the dominant Protestant denomination in the border states and throughout most of the South. Its growth was fueled by a focus on evangelism and a conservative theological stance that appealed to many in those regions.
In the 1600s, Maryland was founded as a haven for Catholics persecuted in England. However, over time, due to the Act of Toleration and an influx of Protestant settlers, Maryland became more religiously diverse. By the end of the century, the majority of Maryland's population was Protestant.
According to wikipedia... Cronkite's family was Protestant and changed their denomination three times while he was a child. Cronkite himself joined the Episcopal church as a youth explaining in a 1994 interview: "I got into a Boy Scout troop that met in an Episcopal church. The church had a wonderful minister who was also the scoutmaster. And I suppose you can say he proselytized me. At any rate, I was much involved with the church, and became Episcopalian - and an acolyte. Later, when I worked for a paper in Houston, I was church editor for a while. The Episcopal House of Bishops met in Houston one year, and I became intrigued by the leaders of the church - fascinated by their discussions and their erudition."

The dominant religion of Boston in the 1700s was/is known as Congregationalism. Congregationalist congregations use to be the Puritans and Pilgrims you so often hear about in early American history courses. Puritans and Pilgrims not their identities from whether they wanted to reform the Church of England or if they wanted to actually separate from the Church of England. However, after a century in the New World these old distinctions became things of the past and the two groups along with other immigrants created a new denominational structure where each individual church INDEPENDENTLY governed itself in all affairs, hence the name Congregationalists because the congregants of each church were their own rulers. Hence Congregationalists became known for their "free churches and free pulpits". Most of these congregations started out as reformed Anglicans but gradually embraced Calvinistic theological positions. However, because each pulpit in the congregation was free from being governed by any larger denominational leaders, some Congregationalist churches became very liberal starting about 1750, especially around the greater Boston/Cambridge area. Slowly a split developed between the more orthodox congregations and the more liberal churches. Eventually, the more liberal churches evolved to the point they adopted a unitarian theological position and denied the divinity of Christ. By 1825, the split became complete when the liberal churches left the Congregationalist denomination and formed a new Unitarian denomination. From probably about 1770 onward, most Boston congregations were unitarian in theology although still considered Congregationalist denominationally. (I'm only a semi-expert on this topic, but that is a much better answer than the previous one. Any improvements are welcome.)
