It would have been an isolated state, surrounded by the Confederacy. It could not have been kept supplied by Washington.
Southern states seceded from the Union due to several reasons, 1) being the industrial revolution was creating large profits for the northern states while cotton price's were regulated by the federal government, 'Commerce Clause', which were kept at the same basic price per lb even with the industrial revolution making the demand for cotton much higher. 2) Britain was offering backing in the form of money to the south in an effort to divide the United States which would weaken the country 3) finally the election of Abraham Lincoln to president. President Lincoln was pro abolitionism (against slavery) and pro industry. The southern states disagreed with his belief's and with Britain talking up succession, which is a Constitutional right of the states. The Southern States, mostly slave states seceded. Note. President Lincoln went against the Constitution and refused secession based on the thought that the division of the States would destroy the 'Great Experiment' (Union of the States).
Abraham Lincoln took several strategic actions to ensure that border states remained loyal to the Union during the Civil War. He implemented a cautious approach to slavery, emphasizing the preservation of the Union over immediate abolition, which helped to assuage the fears of slaveholding states. Additionally, Lincoln increased federal presence and support in these states, reinforcing their economic and military ties to the Union. By addressing their concerns and maintaining communication, he successfully kept these crucial states on the side of the Union.
I assume you mean why they wanted to separate from the North? in any case, after the Compromise of 1850 and the Kansas-Nebraska Act, the South felt threatened that they would have to give up the right to own slaves. There was also a concern of states rights, but primarily why they advocated states rights was so that they could ensure that they kept slaves. After the Presidential election of 1860, President Lincoln was elected. Most people in the South thought that Lincoln - and the Republican Party in general - were abolitionists. Seven states seceded because of Lincoln's election, the rest seceded later.
During the American Civil War there were five states which stayed neutral and were given the name "border" states. They were called border states because they each bordered a free state and were aligned with the union. The five border states were Delaware, Kentucky, Maryland, Missouri, and West Virginia.
The United States kept a military occupational force of 200,00 troops in the former States of the Confederacy.
Maryland, Tennessee and Kansas were all considered border states and both sides fought to gain support from the states.

It was the South that kept claiming States' Rights - in some cases, just a polite term for the right to own slaves. The North believed in the sanctity of the Union, and declared war on the states that broke away.

Eleven. Up to the time of Fort Sumter, there were seven, all of them Deep South. Then, after Lincoln appealed for volunteer troops, all eyes were on the eight states of the Upper South, of which four joined the Confederacy, and the other four were kept in the Union - with some difficulty - by the adroit Lincoln.
That force is gravity.
