The State of Maryland was founded by Catholics.

The majority of the great cities of America were founded by Catholics. Without Catholics, starting with Columbus, bringing Christianity to the New World, there would be no United States.

The majority, I do not think so. As to Columbus, the Protestants improved the real estate. Where would anyone rather live, south or north of the Rio Grande.

The State of Maryland was founded by Catholics.<>Actually a majority of the Colonists that come over to Maryland were Protestants. It was not so much a "Catholic" colony as one in which all religions were tolerated.
