Sectionalism, the division between the North and South over economic, social, and political differences, significantly influenced the debate over state admissions in the 19th century. As new territories sought statehood, conflicts arose over whether they would be admitted as free or slave states, reflecting the broader struggle between slaveholding and non-slaveholding interests. This tension was epitomized by events such as the Missouri Compromise and the Compromise of 1850, which attempted to maintain a balance of power in Congress. Ultimately, sectionalism intensified the divisions that led to the Civil War, as each side sought to expand its influence through the admission of new states.

Westward migration in the United States intensified sectionalism. As more and more people headed west, the need of a faster way to travel grew. Farmers lost workers to the railways being built.
the First Amendment
As the South found it increasingly hard to get new territories admitted to the Union as slave-states, they were increasingly outvoted in Congress. This enabled the industrialised North to protect its manufacturing sector by raising tariffs on imports. The South, having almost no manufacturing industry, needed imports much more than the North did. So the tariffs looked embarrassingly like the North directly taxing the South. That is why South Carolina refused the pay the tariffs, claiming States' Rights - the right of one state to over-rule Federal law.

Great Debate :)
The ongoing debate between makers and takers revolves around the idea that some people contribute to society (makers) while others rely on government assistance (takers). This debate impacts society by shaping policies on taxation, social programs, and wealth distribution, as well as influencing attitudes towards work, welfare, and inequality.

The key findings of the Gary Kleck gun study suggest that firearms are used by civilians for self-defense much more frequently than previously thought. This challenges the notion that guns are primarily used for criminal activities. These findings contribute to the ongoing debate on gun control by highlighting the potential benefits of gun ownership for self-defense and raising questions about the effectiveness of strict gun control measures in preventing crime.
