Unit Essay: Sectionalism
In order to complete this project you must write an essay on the following topic:
Sectionalism
The "Era of Good Feelings" was an era where partisan bickering between the Federalists and the Republicans was at a minimum, but from even before this time until the eve of the civil war, it was replaced by a different conflict: conflict by region or "sectionalism." The United States learned how to become a nation in the years 1790-1830 and throughout this time national policies were often dictated by the desires and needs of three distinct regions or sections of the US-the Northeast, the Western Frontier, and the South. Each region had its own distinct economic interests and plan for national policy, and each region succeeded at times in controlling policy for their benefit. Write a five paragraph essay of 500-750 words explaining how the Northeast, West, and South influenced national policy and government from the years 1800-1830.
