Conflict+Analysis+Case

Sectionalism - Excessive loyalty and devotion to one's own region or section of the country rather than the nation as a whole.

Between 1800 and 1850, the northern and southern states developed very differently from one another with regards to their economic development, social structures, and cultural institutions. Over time, these regional differences caused Americans to place less of their allegiance towards the nation (nationalism) and focus more of their loyalty to the specific section of the nation in which they lived (sectionalism).
