Question 2

Chesapeake and Maryland colonists considered tobacco cultivation and trade their primary concern and, unlike fellow colonists in New England, religion a secondary concern. Discuss the reasons for this lack of religious zeal in the southern colonies.

Accepted Answer

Answer would ideally include:
Chesapeake Region: Most colonists were nominally Protestant and were expected to conform to the doctrines of the Anglican Church; however, few clergy migrated to the area, and few of those who did were models of piety. In the Chesapeake, faith was based in the high-stakes gamble of survival as tobacco planters.
Maryland: Although Lord Baltimore intended to create a Catholic colony in Maryland, most of the colonists were Protestants, and the population grew slowly in the early years. Religious turmoil in England led to conflicts between the minority Catholics and the majority Protestants. As immigration rates increased, Maryland became just as devoted to the religion of tobacco as the Chesapeake region.
