Like everything about Ireland is very complicated I can think of three reasons:
Religion: the people of Northern Ireland were predominately Protestant while the rest of Ireland was Catholic. There were fears of the Irish government taking its instructions from the Vatican
Politics: The Unionist Party in North Ireland was closely linked to the British Conservative Party which was opposed to Irish Home Rule.
Ethnic: The Northern Irish people were predominately of Scottish and English origin. They feared being ruled by the Irish. There had already been instances of Anglo-Irish property in the south being set on fire.
