Answer:

Maryland

Step-by-step explanation:

The province of Maryland began as a proprietary colony of the English Lord Baltimore. The purpose of it was to reward Catholics in England who supported King Charles I. This land was meant to create a haven for the English Catholics, and give them a way to escape the religious conflicts that were talking place in England. This meant that Maryland was an early pioneer on religious tolerance.
