Lord Baltimore established the colony of Maryland primarily as a haven for English Catholics seeking religious freedom. The colony encouraged settlers by offering land grants, which were part of a broader strategy to attract people to the new colony. This included offering land to wealthier individuals who could then bring over tenants or poorer settlers to cultivate the land.
