2. Maryland, a Religious Refuge Like other religious groups in England, ROMAN CATHOLICS sought a place of refuge in America. In 1633, CECIL CALVERT founded the colony of MARYLAND for both Protestants and Catholics. Protestants soon outnumbered Catholics in the colony. MARYLANDS leaders responded by issuing the TOLERATION ACT in 1649. This law guaranteed all Christians the right to worship as they pleased. 3. Maryland 4. Lord Baltimore 5.

OGLETHORPE set strict lifestyle rules in the colony. He limited land ownership and forbade the use of liquor. As a result, few people wanted to come to GEORGIA, and the colony grew slowly. 9.
