Question 9 • US History

What were causes of sectionalism? Choose four correct answers.

Answer
A
states’ rights
B
economic differences
C
the issue of slavery
D
the Stamp Act
E
the 1860 presidential election
F
social differences

Explanation

Sectionalism grew from differences between the North and South in society and their economies, as well as disputes over slavery and states’ rights. The 1860 presidential election heightened sectional tensions but was not a long-term underlying cause. The Stamp Act belonged to the colonial period, not the causes of sectionalism leading up to the Civil War.
