** Despite similar cultures and a shared history, the Northern and Southern Water tribes are ''not'' one big happy family, and prejudices and other issues exist between the two. (A century of separation and being cut off from each other doesn't help either, as the two tribes have essentially become strangers to each other.) Especially when the South has valuable natural resources that can be exploited and the Northerners feel the South is too ignorant/uncivilized to take advantage of it. The South isn't free of other prejudices against the other nations either, despite being "good guys" in the war, with some southerners bitter and resentful towards the North for staying out of the Hundred Year War until near the end of it.
** Just because the South united in the war, it doesn't mean there won't be a falling out and divisions about policy regarding what road to take after the war.
** Katara imagines she'll go back to the South and find nothing has changed, only to find that everything is changing as the tribe tries to adapt to new post-war circumstances. When she is upset about this and says she expected things to go back to normal with the war over, Sokka points out that nobody in the South still remembers a time before the war, so nobody even knows what normal is anymore. A lot of people, including Katara, are trying to go back to a normal that they don't even know, and may have never existed.
** As part of their reconstruction plans, the North converts several villages in the South into a massive city very similar to the North's capital. This is seen as cultural erasure by certain southerners, namely Gilak and Katara.
** Pakku is attempting to teach waterbending to two very young sisters, the first souther waterbenders since Katara. Their mother always told them to hide their powers or the Fire Nation would take them away, which was a very real danger since the Fire Nation had a specialist military unit for that exact purpose less than ten years ago. They're too young to really understand that the war is over and the "monsters" aren't coming for them, and they're also away from their family and their incredibly isolated village for the first time ever. Naturally they're terrified and don't want to learn waterbending or understand why their mother suddenly decided to send them away to do the thing she always told them never to do.
** Gilak kidnaps Earth King Kuei in an attempt to force all foreigners to leave the Southern Water Tribe, which Zuko notes will result in the Earth Kingdom declaring a new war if anything happens to him.
