What was sectionalism like in the 1850s?

In the days leading up to the Civil W President Abraham Lincoln is quoted as saying " A house divided against itself cannot stand." What did he mean by this? Clearly he was saying that the United States of America had to remain just that, united. In order to continue to exist as a nation we had to truly be unified. What Lincoln was reacting to were the many conflicts that were dividing this great nation. We call these divisions sectionalism. Sectionalism was the feeling of loyalty to a section or area, rather than to a whole. This means that people in the U.S. back then felt more loyalty to the South or the North, rather than to a nation as a whole.

What the term Civil War means?

Wars are basically of two types. If a nation goes to war against another nation, that is war in the normal sense, which we might describe as an external war. If there are factions within a nation that go to war with each other, then the nation is effectively at war with itself. That is called a civil war. (The current fighting in Syria, as I type in September of 2012, is an example of civil war.)

How do you define a Civil War?

The first "civil war" was in England and was fought for control of the country. The U.S. Civil War was fought between the majority of the nation and a breakaway region. Today, "civil war" means a war fought mainly within one country, whether the reason for fighting is to take over the whole country or to break away a part as a new country.
