Question

yoyo can you proofread this pls?keep my wording please thanks


Sectionalism separated the South and the North. This was because each region had different economies, cultures, and laws. Slavery was the major factor that caused their separation. This was because the South believed that slavery was necessary, meanwhile the North disagreed. The South argued that the Southern Leaders protected slavery. They said that slavery should be decided on by the states, not the national government. The South reacted badly to the election of 1860. In 1860, Abraham Lincoln, who was against the spread of slavery, won the presidency. However, he got almost no votes from the Southern States. Because of this, Southerners believed that the national government would now try to end slavery. in December 1860, Southern States had voted to leave the United States. In early 1861, the formed the Confederate States of America. Leaders in the south had used the idea of states' rights to justify succession, saying that each state had the right to leave the state in order to protect slavery. The attack on Fort Sumter in April 1861, and as well as the succession, started the Civil War.

Here’s your paragraph with minimal changes to fix grammar, spelling, and capitalization while keeping your wording and meaning:

Sectionalism separated the South and the North. This was because each region had different economies, cultures, and laws. Slavery was the major factor that caused their separation. This was because the South believed that slavery was necessary, while the North disagreed. The South argued that the Southern leaders protected slavery. They said that slavery should be decided on by the states, not the national government. The South reacted badly to the election of 1860. In 1860, Abraham Lincoln, who was against the spread of slavery, won the presidency. However, he got almost no votes from the Southern states. Because of this, Southerners believed that the national government would now try to end slavery. In December 1860, Southern states voted to leave the United States. In early 1861, they formed the Confederate States of America. Leaders in the South used the idea of states' rights to justify secession, saying that each state had the right to leave the Union in order to protect slavery. The attack on Fort Sumter in April 1861, along with secession, started the Civil War.

Notes on changes: corrected capitalization, a comma splice ("meanwhile" → "while"), the typo “the formed” → “they formed,” fixed “succession” → “secession,” and made small wording adjustments for clarity. If you want stricter historical wording (for example, switching "major" to "a major" or changing phrasing about votes), I can adjust further.
