I believe the residents of Maryland at the time wanted to secede from the Union but it's state government didn't.

Well, the legislators that Lincoln didn't lock up certainly didn't, but the ones he locked up did.

Arresting legislatures for expressing a position? No wonder Maryland's state song refers to Lincoln as a tyrant.

Maryland pro-Confederates were strong in their support of secession and war against the United States, but they were a distinct minority, outnumbered about three-to-one by Unionists.

Seem my post #23 above.
