AH Challenge: Republic of Franklin

Franklin only failed to be admitted by a few votes, IOTL. They could be admitted as a state, and then years later the Philadelphia Convention occurs as in OTL. However, it fails and the Union dissolves. Franklin secedes along with some other states.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the area that Franklin roughly corresponds to the center of pro-Union sentiment in Tennessee during the Civil War? If that's indeed the case, then Franklin may not secede at all, if the Civil War as we know it even occurs.
