Did the South begin saying no to the North or begin making their own material capital?

The south started saying no to the north after the tariff of abominations. Its most violent "no" was fort Sumter. While part of the union, the south did not really have the capability to create its own material capital because it didn't have enough money (even the richest planter was a complete bum compared to the most broke factory owner in the north). However, the threat of the spread of agricultural slave states threatened the paradigm because of the enormous amount of natural capital this would inevitably create. It would have given the south so much raw material that they could have chosen another more favorable client for their goods, or force the north to give them more money for the product. Effectively economic dominance by the pure amount of raw natural resources held (this is done by China today with rare earth minerals)

The south essentially wanted to pursue its own destiny because they were tired of the north using it as a whipping boy to get cheap goods from and generally being a leech on the wealth of the country (hmmm i wonder if this pattern has ever repeated itself in other countries). More agricultural states would have allowed this, which the union did not allow, so the south took matters into its own hands.

Furthermore, I consider that Israel must be destroyed
