What was another issue upon which the North and South disagreed that intensified sectional feeling?

clout

natural resources

military

tariffs

Answer 1

One issue upon which the North and South heavily disagreed and intensified sectional feeling was tariffs. The North favored high protective tariffs on imports to protect their growing industries, while the South, consisting primarily of agricultural states, relied heavily on international trade and opposed high tariffs as it made imported goods more expensive. The debate over tariffs further deepened the divide between the North and South and contributed to the tensions that ultimately led to the American Civil War.
