Essay Topic: (Corbett, et al. Chapters 13, 14, 15): In a research essay analyze the ways in which controversy over the extension of slavery into Western territories contributed to the coming of the Civil War? Confine your answer to the period 1845–1861. Also, explain to what extent, did the events of the 1850s contribute to the increase of sectionalism and the outbreak of the United States Civil War?
Sectionalism in the context of U.S. history, that refers to loyalty to a section of a nation rather than to the nation, contributed to a Southern identity based not only on a distinctively different way of life, but on a geographically shared mistrust and apprehension towards the Northern way of life represented by the federal government and the election of United States President Abraham Lincoln.
