Maryland, to try to gain settlers, uses what is known as the headright system, which had originated in Jamestown.

The government award land to people who transport colonists to Maryland.

Lord Baltimore on March 25, 1634, sends the first settlers into this area.

Although most of the settlers are Protestants, Maryland will soon become one of the few regions in the British Empire where Catholics hold the highest positions of political authority.

Maryland will also be one of the key destinations of tens of thousands of British convicts.
