The first settlers in Maryland arrived at San Clemente on the west coast of Maryland and found a settlement in Saint Mary.

In 1632, Charles I of the UK presented the charter to Sir George Culbert, the first Baltimore, and gave him the ownership of the area on the eastern side of the Potomac River in return for part of the land income. This area was named Maryland State in commemoration of Queen Henry Mary of Charles I. Prior to the settlement, George Culbert died and was taken over by his son, Cecilis, who tried to establish Maryland State as a Roman Catholic shelter that was persecuted in the UK. In March 1634, the first settlers in the UK - carefully selected Catholics and Protestant groups - arrived at the pigeons and San Clemente doves.

In 1649, the Maryland Governor William Stone passed a measure to ensure that everyone who believes in Jesus Christ can enjoy the freedom of religion and justice. However, in 1654, after Puritan dominated the colony, the so-called "tolerance law" was abolished, so that Sir Baltimore lost control of Maryland state in March 1655.

Like Pennsylvania, Maryland settlements have both economic and religious purposes. Catholic Catholic Cecil Culbert is trying to ensure that Catholics worship in peace and attract Protestant settlers. Therefore in 1633 he published "Roman Catholic worship 58" which "teach", ie "done as personal as possible", the Protestant should receive "same kindness and generosity as allowed by justice".

Culbert personally failed and publicly acknowledged the new British Protestant monarchy, the internal rebellion robbed his power, gained public support, I worked hard to establish an English church.
