What led to problems was it was granted only to Lincoln. He delegated it to military officers. That led to a Supreme Court decision, Ex parte Merryman (1861) by Roger B. Taney, 17 F. Cas. 144; Case No. 9,487. The decision theoretically, released all of those who weren’t specifically denied by Lincoln. However, after a fe3 months, most were released. The judge explained that he had no way top force the President’s compliance.
As to your question, I suppose they listen to someone who has listened to someone, and somewhere along the line, somebody just guessed.

Congress suspended it and gave Lincoln authority, to jail people without charges. Congress determined that there was a “rebellion”.
