Following the Plundering Time, Maryland needed to re-evaluate its trajectory and the extent to which maintaining its original vision was feasible in the aftermath of the First English Civil War. While the colony worked to stabilize itself internally, Baltimore prepared a rebranding and reset of his colony, replacing Catholic leadership with Puritan, but also implementing a series of measures to ensure continued toleration of religious minorities. The most famous of these was the Toleration Act, which required toleration in the colony on both the personal and governmental levels. Unlike anywhere else in the English speaking world, this toleration would extend to every single Christian who reached Maryland's shores.
