The Dutch settled in New Netherland mainly to profit from Native Indian, while Catholics settled in Maryland seeking religious freedom.

Explanation:

The Dutch settlers settle in New Netherland because it was geographically the best location to do trading with the Native Indians. The Dutch settlers traded with the native Indians for fur. Fur was considered to be a profitable trade in the colonies during the 1600s because it was considered to be luxury and famous among the elite families in Europe.

Catholics in England persecuted since the 1500s and continued it to the 17th century. Lord Baltimore in 1634 worked on settling a colony named it Maryland where Catholic can practice freely without any restriction.
