Why did political life continue much as normal in the Union states, in contrast with the Confederacy?

Really interested if anyone has any ideas- I find it quite confusing. Currently I've reached the conclusion that it was because there was an erosion of the 2 party system in the 1850s (only one party left in South?) and there was a perceived need for a united front during the emergencies of secession and war.
