Factors Leading to Increased Sectionalism


From 1840 to 1860, the United States expanded westward, which lead to increasing sectional tensions between the North and South. Manifest Destiny led to the
acquisition of new territories in the southwest. As western territories grew in population and new states applied for statehood, sectional tensions grew over
issues of regional power, the role of the national government and states, and the growth of slavery.
