Analysis
Economy and Religion Analysis: The religion was mostly Roman Catholic. Maryland was religiously tolerant, so there were other religions, including Lutherans and Presbyterians. The only religion not allowed was Judaism. The economy was mostly Manufacturing and Agriculture. Maryland was in the South, so there was very good fertile soil. Agriculture was popular and was a main source in Maryland. Manufacturing further boosted the economy and made Maryland a successful colony.
Founding Effect Analysis: Having been founded for religious tolerance and a safe haven for Catholics, caused many religions to come to Maryland and make a religiously diverse population. This allowed for a better system because it incorporated many different ways to perceive a problem/ get a solution. Most religions came to Maryland, except the Jews because they weren’t allowed.
