Sectionalism created distinct identities and priorities for the North and South, leading to increasing tension over political, economic, and social issues. The North focused on industrialization and a strong federal government, while the South favored agrarianism and states' rights.
In the North, the belief in a government that could support economic growth and human rights fueled opposition to slavery, positioning it as a moral and political wrong. Conversely, the South's reliance on slavery for its agricultural economy solidified a commitment to maintaining a government that upheld states' rights and the institution of slavery.
