Sectionalism is loyalty to the interests of your own region or section of the country, rather than to the nation as a whole. It was promoted by economic changes, because economic changes had created some divisions within the United States. White Southerners were relying more on cotton and slavery. In the Northeast, wealth was based on manufacturing and trade. In the West, settlers wanted cheap land and good transportations. The interests of these sections were often in conflict.
