Maryland was established in 1632 when King Charles I granted a charter to Cecil Calvert, the second Lord Baltimore, as a haven for English Catholics facing persecution. The colony's early economy relied on tobacco cultivation, which attracted settlers and indentured servants. Maryland's unique feature was its Religious Toleration Act of 1649, which promoted religious freedom for Christians, fostering a diverse population. Over time, the colony grew economically and socially, becoming a significant player in colonial America.
