Maine was founded primarily for economic reasons and the pursuit of land. Initially part of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, it attracted settlers seeking agricultural opportunities and resources like timber and fish. By the early 19th century, growing population and political differences led to Maine's separation from Massachusetts, resulting in its admission as the 23rd state in 1820. The establishment of Maine also played a role in the balance of free and slave states in the Union during that period.
