The border states in the Civil War in the United States had fewer slaves per capita than the rest of the south. Also geographical features made it easy for the North to invade them and difficult for the South to defend them. The wide Potomac cut off reinforcements to Delaware and most of Maryland. The mountains made Kentucky difficult to supply from the south. Missouri was surrounded on 3 sides by Union states. As a result, it did not make sense for those states to pull out of the Union. A number of solders from those states joined the Confederate Army, but the states did not side with the confederacy.
The border states were a great benefit to the North. It is always best to have people on your side rather than against you, as it just betters your odds of winning. It would also increase the power of the South and would bring more destruction and humility to the US, as the Confederate states would have grown larger.
The Confederate States lost the war. They were not more successful.
While they did not have a completely different currency, like Dollars and Euro's, the confederate states did have slight differences on their notes, and so was worth a different amount depending on what store they were in. The different stores had different worths for the other sides currency than their own, so the Federal money was worth a different amount in the Confederate store, and vice verca.
