In the 1830s, northeasterners, southerners, and westerners were divided primarily over issues such as economic interests, slavery, and land policies. Northeasterners, focused on industrialization, favored tariffs to protect their industries, while southerners, reliant on agriculture and slave labor, opposed such tariffs. Westerners sought access to land and often supported policies that would promote settlement and development, leading to tensions over the expansion of slavery into new territories. These regional differences contributed to growing sectionalism that would later culminate in the Civil War.
