Dear wideawake,

“Or included Maryland in their alliance?”

Maryland was governed by rancid Protestants by the time of the revolution, having replaced the Catholic Acts of [Religious] Toleration with severe anti-Catholic laws.

Yes, but the Catholic minority of Maryland was quite influential still and a free Maryland would have been expected to be a place for subsequent Catholic immigration to the new Republic - which it was.
