Hello! I don't need any help answering the question, but I tend to ramble on when I type, and want to make sure my answer is clear. Can someone help me summarise this?
What is the connection between sectionalism, slavery, and states’ rights as causes of the Civil War? How did the Southern response to the 1860 election results demonstrate this connection?
Sectionalism, slavery, and states rights as the causes of the civil war were all connected because the south practiced sectionalism because they were more concerned with keeping slavery (even to the point of secession, which they claimed was a state right) than with the well being of the other sections of the country or the country as a whole. The north also practiced sectionalism because (after the Kansas-Nebraska Act) they became unwilling to compromise with the south and disagreed with the south's views on slavery and did not believe secession was a state right. The southern response to the 1860 election results demonstrates this connection because the south seceded because they were afraid that the north would outlaw slavery(and thus practice sectionalism), so they took advantage of their "state right" and seceded.
As I said, I don't need any help with the answer. (As far as I know) but can someone help me summarize?

Also too long for one sentence:

Capitalization is needed:
