So, in 1655 the English Civil War had an engagement of sorts fought on the far side of the Atlantic from the British Isles in the Colony of Maryland. There forces that had seized control of the colony and were loyal to the Commonwealth fought off an attack from Virginia made up of those loyal to Lord Baltimore and the Stuart Crown. The Pro-Commonwealth force held and maintained control of the colony for several years after.
The question simply being, what happens if the Pro-Royalist side had been able to win the battle? Would they have been able to take all of Maryland? And what effect does this have for British Colonies during the whole of the Commonwealth era?
