True or False?

The Englishmen who founded Maryland were Puritans, but not Separatists.

Asked by LeeannGrabowski

Answer (2)

F, the founders of Maryland were Catholic (Cecilius Calvert)

Answered by Tails | 2024-06-10

The statement is false because the founders of Maryland were predominantly Catholic, specifically led by Cecil Calvert. They created the colony in 1634 as a refuge for Catholics facing persecution in England. This led to the enactment of laws supporting religious tolerance for all Christians.
