The Calvert family, specifically Cecil Calvert, the 2nd Baron Baltimore, sought a charter from King Charles I to establish a colony in North America as a refuge for English Catholics facing persecution. They aimed to create a place where they could practice their faith freely while also promoting economic opportunities through land development and agriculture. The charter granted them significant powers to govern the colony, leading to the founding of Maryland in 1632.
