Why was my State taxes debited the following day but the Federal tax that I owe has not been debited from my Bank of America. It's been 6 days now.

Two completely different entities.   The US Treasury takes longer.  The first page of your tax return PDF is the Filing instructions - that page will show the account and amount you have scheduled.   It normally takes the IRS a few days to take the  payment, but it is effective the date you scheduled it, and confirmed by your e-file acceptance receipt.  

See the IRS FAQ page

this won't help for this year but I use "send a check" option and don't provide any payment instructions via e-file, then just pay directly at irs.gov (which I have to do for Q1 ES anyway), IRS usually debits my account that night so there is no mystery or waiting.
