It was Catholics, Puritains is 100% incorrect. They were the Mass Bay colony.
Lord Baltimore died before he could start the colony after receiving the charter for it from the King. His son ended up founding the colony.
It was meant to be for Catholics who were opressed in England, both Lord Baltimore and his son were Catholics and Lord B had been very valuable to the king and the king wanted to reward him. However, many different types of people ended up settling there. That's why the Maryland constitution expressly mentioned freedom of religion. To protect the Catholic minority.
