Sectionalism is a political and social phenomenon where different regions of a country prioritize their own interests and cultures over national unity. In the United States, particularly in the 19th century, sectionalism manifested in the stark divide between the North and South, mainly over issues like slavery, economic policies, and states' rights. This growing divide contributed to increased tensions, ultimately leading to the Civil War, as each region sought to protect its way of life and economic interests. It deeply affected people by fostering regional identities and conflicts that overshadowed national cohesion.
