Sectionalism, a prominent feature of American history during the years 18201860, was a period marked by the growing divide between the Northern and
Southern states

One of the key events that contributed to the development of sectionalism during
this period was the Missouri Compromise of 1820, which sought to maintain a
balance between the number of free and slave states in the Union
...
While this temporarily quelled tensions, it also set a precedent for future
conflicts over the expansion of slavery into new territories
...
The acquisition
of new territories raised questions about whether slavery would be allowed in
these areas, and the Compromise of 1850 attempted to address these concerns
...
The Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854, which allowed the people in these territories to

divisions

...
In conclusion, the period of sectionalism from 1820-1860 was marked by growing
divisions between the Northern and Southern states over the issue of slavery and
other political and economic interests
