The correct answer is: It was a safe place for Catholics who were being persecuted in England.

Maryland was established as a proprietary colony by Cecil Calvert, the second Lord Baltimore, in 1632, primarily as a refuge for English Catholics who faced discrimination and persecution in Protestant England. While Maryland did become known for its tobacco cultivation, the initial motivation for its founding was the desire for a safe haven for Catholics.
