Sectionalism in the 1800s In the early 1800s, sectionalism between the North and the South was based on slavery. While the North completely disagreed with the idea of slavery, the South was all for the idea of slavery. As more time has passed, slavery became a greater issue. Throughout the United States of America, life for the slaves had slightly changed. The states of the North had become anti-slavery and the states of the South became slavery supporters.

Dred Scott was an African American man in the United States that sued for the freedom of himself, the freedom of his wife, and the freedom of his kids in the Dred Scott vs. Stanford case. Dred Scott believed that he and his wife should have been granted the privilege of becoming United States of America citizens because he and his wife had lived in Illinois and the Wisconsin Territory for four years.

The purpose of the War was to make all the United States united and with the separation of the North and the South, it was not easy to cooperate. These topics helped changed the American Society because they allowed the United States to experience diversity between being free states and slaves states. With these experiences, the people of the United States have been able to live life in a certain way and realize that it was wrong. With these realizations, the people were able to fight for what was right in the future to come. Although there is no more slavery in the United States today, there is still discrimination of race.
