Watch Glory with Matthew Broderick. It explains alot and the facts are true. My Social Studies teacher showed us that movie and then had to take a test. It is a reliable source. Plus, Morgan Freeman is in it which makes it all the better.

What are facts about sectionalism?

Sectionalism refers to the loyalty and identification with a specific region within a country, often leading to tensions and conflicts between different regions. It was a major factor that contributed to the outbreak of the American Civil War, with differences in economic interests, social structures, and political beliefs dividing the North and South. Sectionalism has also been observed in other countries and historical periods, such as the United Kingdom during the Industrial Revolution.


What political divisions existed within both the north and south?

In the North, political divisions existed over issues such as tariffs, internal improvements, and the role of the federal government in regulating the economy. In the South, divisions centered on states' rights, slavery, and the extent of federal power over states' decisions. These divisions ultimately contributed to the growing tensions between the North and South leading up to the Civil War.


Why did the north have a political leadership advantage over the south during the civil war?

The North's political situation at the start of the US Civil War and throughout the conflict can be described as different than the South's however, the term of advantage does not apply. The South knew that it wanted its independence. Many in the North were constantly at odds with the Lincoln administration. Here are a list of political problems the North faced:* Lincoln was constantly under assault from the Radical wing of the Republican Party;* It was the Radicals that were behind the Congressional Joint Committee on the Conduct of the War;* George B. McClellan was outspoken against the policies of Lincoln & his cabinet;* Lincoln's cabinet was not 100% in support for the emancipation Proclamation;* The talk of a military coup was present up until the time of General Joseph Hooker who discussed a military dictatorship with Lincoln;* The Union's premier army, the Army of the Potomac changed commanders almost too many times. It was anybody's guess when the next change would come;* Lincoln's favorite general was known to be close to being an alcoholic;* The largest civilian insurrection in US history occurred in New York City, the "draft riots";* Lincoln faced an ever growing "peace movement';* The slave holding border states were an embarrassment to the Union's and slavery;* Lincoln was not sure if he would be the Republican nominee in 1864;* The threat of a British peace initiative was omni-present; and* The governor of Indiana was against the 1863 emancipation.The political problems list is a long one. The ones mentioned, however, are a sampling of the important ones.The South's political problems paled against those of the North.


What are the Political effects in the north?

In the Northern region, political effects can include increased scrutiny on policies related to economic development, social welfare, and environmental conservation. Additionally, there may be a focus on issues such as indigenous rights, resource extraction, and infrastructure development due to the region's unique challenges and opportunities. Political autonomy and governance structures for Indigenous communities may also be important political considerations in the North.


What are the political underlying causes of the civil war?

The main political underlying causes of the American Civil War were disagreements over states' rights versus federal authority, particularly regarding the expansion of slavery into new territories, economic differences between the industrial North and the agrarian South, and the election of President Abraham Lincoln, who opposed the spread of slavery. These long-standing tensions ultimately led to the secession of Southern states and the outbreak of war in 1861.
