Historians refer to the period from about 1820 to 1860 in the United States as the antebellum period. Antebellum means "before the war," referring to the time period before the Civil War (1861–1865). During the antebellum period, the North and South grew increasingly further apart in their economies, societies, and ways of life.

These regional differences led to

sectionalism,

which means supporting one's own

section,

or region, over the whole country. Which of the following choices best show examples of sectionalism? Select

two.

a Wisconsin merchant who helps organize a local chapter of a political party that only represents Northern voters

a Mississippi slaveholder who supports low tariffs that benefit Southern agriculture but harm the development of Northern factories

a North Carolina congressman who supports Southern slavery but would rather the government focus on what he thinks are more important national issues

a Connecticut factory owner who works closely with Southern slaveholders to get cotton for his fabric-making business
