Question

What is the connection among sectionalism, slavery, and states rights as causes of the Civil War? How did the Southern response to the 1816
election results demonstrate this connection?

By the way this is an essay. I really need help because I usually get bad
grades on them.

It would be great i someone could at least give me hint and/or info i can piece together so I can get somewhere.

Answer 1

My suggestions:

Google “sectionalism” and “states rights”

Google “causes of civil war” and “election of 1816”

Take good notes and keep track of where you get info from that you want to use.

Answer 2

As you take notes, you should get ideas about how to proceed. I’d start with defining those 3 terms, and then a paragraph about how all this relates to that election, and then a paragraph about how all this relates to the causes of the civil war.

Answer 3

Ok thanks

Answer 4

The southern states wanted slavery and the north didn't allow it which was the first situation then sectionalism happened between the north and south when new states like Cali wanted to be a free state, disrupting the balance of free and slave states which was the second situation and also south favored states rights and north wanted unity, which was the third situation and basically the south has had enough of it and left the union to be the confederacy. Thus the civil war started.
