Just finished (another) Civil War history. It's fair to point out that Davis used this suspension a great deal less frequently than Lincoln. It is also fair to bring up that southern repression of armed resistance, as in eastern TN, was a good deal more harsh than the similar federal repression in MD.

Open rebellion occurred early in Lincoln's administration. I occurred late in Jefferson's.

Not exactly. Very early in the war (fall of ‘61) there was a spate of bridge-burning and guerrilla attacks on CSA forces in E. Tennessee, precipitated by the report that a Union Army was advancing on the region. Very similar to the somewhat earlier actions of pro-southern Marylanders.
