In a wider sense, I think you can see the causes of many 19th and 20th century wars as a part of the move towards modernity.

The South might be seen as a society attempting to stem the tide of modern industrial society embodied in the North. As might be the Zulu nation, US Indians, China v Japan, etc. In each case you might interpret the conflicts as an eventually futile attempt to stop the spread of modern industrialised societies.
