Sectionalism
Sectionalism
While farming was dominant in all sections of the country prior to 1860, substantial regionalization occurred as the North developed a factory system for manufactured goods, the South relied on a plantation economy, and the West developed family farms specializing in grains for eastern markets. Thus, each region developed both a specialization and a dependency on the others.

Nativism
Additionally, a significant number of international migrants continued to arrive in the United States from Europe and Asia, mainly from Ireland and Germany, often settling in ethnic communities where they could preserve elements of their languages and customs. A strongly anti-Catholic nativist movement arose that was aimed at limiting new immigrants’ political power and cultural influence.

How did policy makers compromise over the question of slavery in the West?
What did the various political parties stand for in the 1850s?
What was more significant, the Dred Scott decision or the Kansas and Nebraska Act?

Why did the South secede?
