Contrast the ownership of the colony of Maryland with the ownership of colonies that were founded earlier. (Contrast means how were they different) *

As proprietor, Lord Baltimore owned Maryland (he named the colony in honor of Queen Henrietta Maria the kings wife). It was his responsibility, not one of a company, to start the colony. He used private funds to start it. He appointed a governor and council of advisers. He gave colonists a role in the government by creating an elected assembly. At first, settlers had to pay rent to lord Baltimore. Only few settlers came to Maryland because most settlers wanted to own their land. Because of his eagerness to attract settlers, he quickly decided to make available generous land Grant's for people who bring over, children, women and servants. He later offered smaller farms and estates to attract more settlers.
