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.
