Detailed explanation-1: -How was the land dispute between Virginia Colony settlers and Cecilius Calvert, settler of the Maryland Colony, resolved? King Charles asked the Virginians to move.
Detailed explanation-2: -All the Maryland colonists wanted, the Calverts explained, was to worship freely as Catholics and live in peace and harmony with their neighbors. (a) Cecil Calvert, the second Lord Baltimore, founded Maryland as a place for Catholics to worship freely. He is shown here in a seventeenth-century Dutch portrait.
Detailed explanation-3: -They were founded for a diverse range of reasons, from the pursuit of fortunes to the desire to create havens from persecution and model societies, and had differing systems of governance. The colonies’ inhabitants-an estimated 2.5 million when the Revolution began-varied greatly as well.
Detailed explanation-4: -The first colonists to Maryland arrive at St. Clement’s Island on Maryland’s western shore and found the settlement of St. Mary’s.
Detailed explanation-5: -Settlers in the Southern colonies came to America to seek economic prosperity they could not find in Old England. The English countryside provided a grand existence of stately manors and high living. But rural England was full, and by law those great estates could only be passed on to the eldest son.
