Sectionalism is tension among different regions of the country. Some say that the cause of the Civil War had to do with slavery. That is a false statement, the biggest cause of the Civil War was sectionalism. This did include slavery along with other issues of conflict, such as taxes and how the government was being run. The country had two completely different views of the way we should live. The north strongly beleived that slavery was wrong and should be abolished. The south on the other hand believed that slavery was perfectly fine and was not a problem.
