21 Apr 1649 Jahr - Maryland Act of Toleration

Beschreibung:

The Act of Toleration, formally known as the Maryland Toleration Act of 1649, was a law mandating religious tolerance for Trinitarian Christians in the Maryland colony. While it did not extend religious freedom to all faiths, the Act was significant for its early attempt to legislate religious tolerance in the English colonies, although it was later repealed during the Protestant Revolution in Maryland.
