The correct answer is C) Sectionalism

Sectionalism is a term that usually refers to the conflicts between two different sections of the United States before the Civil War. This includes the North and the South. Before the Civil War, politicians from Northern and Southern states constantly fought over political power on a state and national level.

One of their fights was over tariffs. Tariffs are taxes on imported goods. The goal of implementing a tariff is to protect American businesses and to increase American citizens to buy goods made in the US. This tariff is supposed to help American businessmen. At this time, a majority of these men were in the North. However, this tariff would hurt thousands of Southern farmers. This is due to the fact that many Southerners made their living off selling goods (like cotton) to European countries who would trade with them. When the tariff threatened to take place, this caused an uproar from Southerners who knew that these tariffs would reduce the amount of trade between the Southern states and other countries.
