[DiogenesLamp]

No Marylander -- zero, zip, nada Marylanders -- were arrested before the state legislature voted 53-13 against secession on April 29,1861.

When did the Union troops arrive?

Just one week later, May 6, 1861, the Confederate congress declared war against the United States, making, by definition, any pro-Confederate activities in Maryland a matter of treason.

We see that same sort of thuggery still today. Protesting a stolen election is now regarded as "insurrection" and some people go so far as to claim "treason."

Same old lies. Same old corruption.

DiogenesLamp: "When did the Union troops arrive? [in Maryland]"

Irrelevant, there were no arrests of Maryland politicians before Confederates declared war on May 6, 1861.
Marylanders were solidly opposed to secession on April 29, by vote of 53 to 13, and more Marylanders served in the Union Army than Confederate by a factor of about 2-1.

Democrats! It's always the Democrats, and Confederates were nothing if not Democrats.
In 1861 Democrats declared & waged war on the United States and in 2020 they did it again!!.

Why you, DiogenesLamp would ever want to be on the side of Democrats... just boggles the mind, FRiend.
