Best Answer

The North and the South began to think of each other as different sections because of the differences in economy and politics. The North was more dependent on industry and controlled most of the factories in America while the South believed that America should have stayed as a farming frontier.

The North was also very opposed to slavery as most abolitionists were from the North. The South was being controlled by Federal power which resided in the North at that time, and the South wanted to be free of that Federal power. Because of this, the South's yearning for separation of Federal power eventually turned into longing to be free of the North.

The South also did not want President Lincoln to be elected because they believed he was opposed to slavery as well. The North wanted Lincoln as president for the very same reason.

Overall, the disagreements between the North and South prior to the Civil War produced sectionalism.
