The correct answer is **B Reconstruction**.
During the mid-1800s, sectionalism and the Civil War were significant factors that preoccupied the United States, and after the war, the focus shifted largely to Reconstruction efforts. This period was characterized by the struggle to restore the Union and address the issues arising from the war, which limited the country's involvement in overseas expansion.
