Detailed explanation-1: -Religion, though, never strongly swayed the people in the Southern colonies. As Baptist, Quaker, and Presbyterian immigrants arrived, they freely established their own churches. Although Roman Catholics founded Maryland, they welcomed Protestants as well.
Detailed explanation-2: -Religion. Most people in the Southern Colonies were Anglican (Baptist or Presbyterian), though most of the original settlers from the Maryland colony were Catholic, as Lord Baltimore founded it as a refuge for English Catholics.
Detailed explanation-3: -Many of the early colonies were founded because people were seeking religious freedom-Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania and Maryland all had those roots.
