True, but it became illegal in 1689 until ~1776. That's a lot of years. The proprietor converted to Protestantism, and I believe in 1725 the administration of the estate was returned by the Crown to the Calvert family. The net effect was unremarkable, even though it was one of the successful armed insurrections in the early Americas.
