why did lincoln see sectionalism as a threat

Answer 1

Answer 2

Answer: Sectionalism implied that slavery could be legal in certain states.

Explanation: Lincoln wanted slavery to be illegal in the US and wanted to put an end to it, however sectionalism implied that states that wanted slavery could still have it and states that didn't could not. ( The North did not want slavery, the South did). This further divided the Civil War when Lincoln really wanted the country as a whole to stand strong together.

" United we stand divided we fall."
