The key connection among sectionalism, slavery, and states' rights as causes of the Civil War is that **they were interconnected causes of the Civil War**. Each of these factors influenced and exacerbated the others, with sectionalism often manifesting in disagreements over slavery and issues of states' rights primarily arising from the desire of southern states to maintain their autonomy and protect the institution of slavery.
