Why did sectionalism in the US increase in the late 1850s?
Sectionalism in the US increased in the late 1850s due to growing divides between the North and South over issues such as slavery, economic interests, and political power. The passage of the Kansas-Nebraska Act and the violent conflicts known as "Bleeding Kansas" intensified these tensions, as did the Dred Scott decision, which ruled that Congress could not restrict slavery in the territories. Additionally, the rise of the Republican Party, which opposed the expansion of slavery, further alienated Southern states. These factors collectively deepened regional loyalties and set the stage for the Civil War.
