Was the arrest after April 27, 1861? Yes

Did I ever say it wasn't, capitan? No. I did not.

You, however, did say that the arrests didn't happen until September, which was false. You then said Delegate Winan's arrest happened in July, which was also false.

Given your propensity for all these falsehoods, I simply saw it fit to provide corrections.

No falsehood about it. I was unaware of Winans arrest. Big deal. It makes no material difference to the crux of the matter - Maryland got its "secession vote" and secession was badly defeated.

But to make you happy, I'll modify my statement in #595 to read:

The Maryland legislature got its vote on secession, unimpeded by the Administration, on April 27, 1861. They defeated it 53-13. Secessionist traitors in the legislature were not arrested until September, with the exception of the knucklehead Winans.

See, I'm a very agreeable person.
