Question: Document B-2. Identify if the document is for nationalism or sectionalism (5 points)
Explain your answer (5 points)
My Answer: Nationalism. The speech wrote, “adopts as a last resource pride in the nation to which he belongs; he is ready and happy to defend all its faults and follies tooth and nail…”Nationalism is most basic a sense of pride in one's nation, it’s some sort of pride a person feels in connection to the nation they live in which they must fight in order to protect their way of life.
