Actually when the civil war started, all of the union called upon their states resources to create the armies. Most states already had state militas.

What I am referring to is this. Basically seceding means that the state would be its own country correct? If that is true then based upon the structure of the government they make that form the state may not have a governor to call upon the national guard. For all we know Texas may become communist with Romney as its leader. Then America would simply be facing another Cuban missile crisis.
