State of Maryland

Captain John Smith explored the area surrounding the Chesapeake Bay, and in 1632 Charles I of England granted a charter to Cecil Calvert, Lord Baltimore. A large group of settlers landed on St. Clement’s Island two years later. Some were Catholics who were seeking religious freedom which was guaranteed by the Toleration Act passed in 1649. In 1649 a revolt by the Puritans ended the guarantee and religious tolerance was not a policy until after the Revolution.

Mason and Dixon established Maryland’s northern boundary with Pennsylvania in1767. In the 1730s border wars had begun over the boundary between William Penn’s Pennsylvania and Calvert’s Maryland. Maryland gave land to form the District of Columbia in 1791.

During the War of 1812 with Britain, an 1814 attack by the British on Fort McHenry, Francis Scott Key wrote the words to the Star Spangled Banner. Although Maryland was a slave state, during the Civil War it did not leave the Union, and both sides had Marylanders in their armies.
