	Colonial Maryland
		The new colony as set forth in the charter was bounded on the north by the fortieth parallel, and on the south by the southern bank of the Potomac, while the western boundary was to be the meridian passing through the source of that river.
		Maryland was singularly free from Indian massacres as also for many years from maladministration; but there was one source of constant irritation that annoyed the colony for a generation, and that was the jealousy of the Virginians.
		During the remainder of the colonial era, frequent quarrels between the governor and the assembly resulted, as in all the royal and proprietary colonies, in a steady gain of power for the people.

		The territory was named Maryland in honor of Henrietta Maria, queen consort of Charles I. Before the great seal was affixed to the charter, George Calvert died, but his son Cecilius Calvert, 2d Baron Baltimore, undertook development of the colony as a haven for his persecuted fellow Catholics and also as a source of income.
		The War of 1812 was marked for Maryland by the British attack of 1814 on Baltimore and the defense of Fort McHenry, immortalized in Francis Scott Key’s “Star-Spangled Banner.” After the war the state entered a period of great commercial and industrial expansion.

	Population document, colonial era
		Immigration patterns into Maryland during the colonial period were not unlike those of the remainder of the east coast of the New World, as the English and French explored and settled over the entire region.
		English settlers had an especially formative role in Maryland, as the Calvert family controlled the original land chartered by King Charles I. A large percentage of the population in the early years of settlement were involuntary immigrants--indentured servants from Europe and slightly later, slaves from Africa.
		Population estimates for the early colonial period vary, in part because of the time period and lack of documentation and in part because a plague of malaria and dysentery known as seasoning was taking the lives of many settlers.
