Sectionalism refers to the loyalty and interests of people to a particular region or section of a country, rather than to the nation as a whole. In the context of the events leading to the Civil War, sectionalism refers to the divide between the Northern states and the Southern states of the United States. Life in the North and the South was indeed very different, with distinct economies, social structures, and political beliefs. These differences, particularly concerning the issue of slavery, contributed to the growing tensions and eventual outbreak of the Civil War.
