OK, so can you please you point me to a source that confirms that Lincoln arrested the entire Maryland legislature in September 1861 and which details the statewide referendum on secession that Baldwin talks about? Thanks in advance.

No problem. Here ya go.

The claim is that Lincoln arrested the entire legislature. The fact is, and it's supported by your article, is only a part of the legislature was arrested. Figures I've seen were fourteen or fifteen legislators and staff. Hardly all of them, fewer than a quarter of all legislators. Source
