A communal conflict is a conflict in which groups that define themselves using ethnic, national, or religious criteria, make claim against the state. When talking about sources of communal conflict it's important to say that there are many of them and none is more important or more likely to cause a conflict than the other. Those sources might include a common homeland, religion, language, race etc. Communal groups are often motivated by greed and power, and most of them seek material and political gains. Moreover, different kind of groups choose different strategies to reach their goals. One common pattern is that in open political systems, those groups choose to stay within conventional political actions, while groups existing in radical political systems choose more violent means. Communal conflicts emerged mostly during the Cold War and its aftermath, but since mid 1990s this trend has been reversed, meaning there are fewer communal conflicts.

But there was also the increasing power of the Abolitionist lobby, which not only opposed the extension of slavery, but wanted to ban slavery in its traditional heartlands too.

The Supreme Court ruling in Dred Scott v. Sandford (1857) held that African Americans, whether enslaved or free, were not considered United States citizens and therefore could not sue in federal court.

The ruling was seen as a victory for pro-slavery advocates and a setback for those seeking to abolish slavery, further polarizing the nation on the issue.

The exploration and settlement of the Far West is one of the great epics of 19th century history. But America's dramatic territorial expansion also created severe problems. In addition to providing the United States with its richest mines, greatest forests, and most fertile farm land, the Far West intensified the sectional conflict between the North and South and raised the fateful and ultimately divisive question of whether slavery would be permitted in the western territories.
