Sectionalism


Sectionalism

                Sectionalism caused lots of tension between the regions of America. People were proud of where they lived and how they lived in their region. For example the south relied on their farms to grow cotton, wheat and tobacco. This required slaves to be used in the south. The north had manufacturing companies and raised cattle so slaves were not as heavily needed. People in the north disapproved of the ways the southerners lived and how they used people as their slaves. Also the traditions change between people living in the north and living in the south even though both are part of America. Americans love their country but they strongly love where they come from and their way of living.
