Maryland was the original colony established on land purchased from a Native American tribe, specifically the Piscataway people. Founded in 1634 by Lord Baltimore, it served as a safe haven for English Catholics seeking refuge from religious persecution in England. The colony promoted religious tolerance, allowing both Catholics and Protestants to coexist.
