Actually, the North did not need the South's foodstuffs. The Great Plains and even the Northern regions themselves are far greater producers of grain and other vital food resources. They need the South for cotton; cotton was the United States' single most important export asset for a very, very long time, and the South provided the absolute majority of them. That, of course, is just nitpicking.

And why must the State be more important than the nation, but has the right to impose its decision upon a smaller administrative region, the county (and if you want, go further) at the same time? Isn't that pure hypocrisy? Why couldn't those Floridan, Texan, and many other counties that voted for the Union forced to fight the Union for the CSA?
