- New Visions Social Studies Curriculum

KEY IDEA: EXPANSION, NATIONALISM, AND SECTIONALISM (1800 – 1865): As the nation expanded, growing sectional tensions, especially over slavery, resulted in political and constitutional crises that culminated in the Civil War.

11.3b

CONCEPTUAL UNDERSTANDING: Different perspectives concerning constitutional, political, economic, and social issues contributed to the growth of sectionalism.

11.3c

CONCEPTUAL UNDERSTANDING: Long-standing disputes over States rights and slavery and the secession of Southern states from the Union, sparked by the election of Abraham Lincoln, led to the Civil War. After the issuance of the Emancipation Proclamation, freeing the slaves became a major Union goal. The Civil War resulted in tremendous human loss and physical destruction.
