"...the south would wage war on the north because they were known to have resources the south needed..."

What resources? The South provides more than three-quarters of our national resources, most of the food supply, most of the energy, and, unlike during the War Between the States, a rapidly increasing industrial base. And, according to a USA Today series, produces the nation's best business leaders (although on a national basis it did tie with the Northeast). And, besides, it's a beautiful, fun place to live.
