Sectionalism played a large part in conflict and tension leading up to the Civil War. What is the concept of sectionalism?


Differences between women and men


Differences between immigrants and natives


Differences between the North (abolitionist) and South (pro-slavery)


Differences between natives and colonists

Answer 1

The answer is differences between the north and south because this is what led to the civil war. The word itself also gives clues. A section is part of a whole. So sectionalism would be dividing the U.S. into sections (North and South) Hope this helps and let me know if you have any more questions!

Answer 2

Sectionalism is a restriction of interest to a narrow sphere; undue concern with local interests or petty distinctions at the expense of general well-being. In this case the differences between north (abolitionist) and south (pro slavery).
