How might the federal government have helped reduce the effects of growing sectionalism?
This question is talking about sectionalism between the North and South before the Civil War. I can't think of any ways that the government could have reduced the sectionalism. Can anyone give me some ideas?

It was mainly was over the issue of slavery. When slavery was abolished in the North, many Southerners didn't want to abolish slavery. For them slavery helped them in a way. So that's why one by one southern states started seceding. Hope this helps you out a little bit.
Yes, thank you.
But I need to write an idea of something the government could have done to stop the Southern states from seceding

The only thing the government could have done was to accept the slavery of the Southern states.
