Topic Summary: Sectionalism and the Causes of the Civil War
These readings focus on
sectionalism, which is the loyalty to one's own region or section of the country rather than to the country as a whole. In US History, this primarily refers to the growing divide between the North and the South in the mid-19th century.
Key points from the visible texts include:
1.
Slavery: The central issue causing tension. The South relied on enslaved labor for agriculture, while the North was more industrial and increasingly opposed to slavery.
2.
Political Compromises: Attempts to keep the Union together by balancing power between free and slave states (e.g., Missouri Compromise, Compromise of 1850).
3.
Violence and Unrest: Events like Nat Turner’s Rebellion showed the deep fears and brutal realities of slavery.
4.
Expansion Issues: As the US grew westward, debates erupted over whether new territories would allow slavery (e.g., Kansas-Nebraska Act).
5.
Political Shifts: The election of Abraham Lincoln in 1860, who opposed the expansion of slavery, was the final trigger for Southern states to secede.
