In the 1820s, the American expansion contributed to the rise of the sectional interest. When Eli Whitney invented the cotton gin, the Southerners planted more cotton, and desired more slaves. As new lands roared into the Union, Northerners wanted them to be admitted as Free states. But Southerners thought they were trying to overpower them. This foundation was established before Civil War after the end of the War of 1812 when nationalism evolved. Northerners agreed with the increase in tariffs for merchants and manufacturers, where as Southerners couldn't afford them. They tried to nullify them and threaten to secede.
America expansion of the 1820 contributed to America rise of Sectional. This was do to the market revolution. When the new textile machine was made industrial north boomed seperating them from agucultural south. But they werebrought togeather again when the cotton gin was made. But the Growing north wanted a raise in tariff so that America would buy American made material but the north couldn't afford it so they nullfied it and when the north pass the force bill they threaten to seced setting the foundation of the civil war. When the years passed Nationalsim took a turn and depended from where you came from so their wasn't anymore America but North and South.
American expansion in the 1820's contributed to sectional interests. The north became the powerhouse in manufactoring with factories. The south was cotton king area producing alot more cotton to keep in demand with the growing need coming from the factories. And the west was the bread basket. Since everyone specialized in something, they all looked out for number one, themselves.
The foundation of the civil war was already established before this time since it has always been a big issue since the creation of the constitution. Since sectional interest have always existed causing division in the country even though in the rise of nationalism everyone identifys themselves as american.
The 1820s contributed to the rise of sectional interest in many ways. Most of these ways were brought up on by machines, new ways of transportation and communication. Eli Whitney’s creation of the cotton gin made it easier and faster to remove seeds; this invention would eventually manifest itself as the years go on. The establishment of the railroads and the Erie Canal helped import and export goods throughout the country at a faster rate. Pony express was one form of new communication; it brought mail from Missouri to California in only 10 days. The American expansion of the 1820s did not create the foundation of the Civil War because it had already been established with the abomination tariffs that South Carolina refused to pay, threating to succeed from the nation. American nationalism evolved during the same year as it separated the south and the north. The south became more agricultural with its slaves and the north became more urbanized and industrialized with its factories and immigrants.
In the 1820's American expansion egged on Sectional interest.In the north samuel slater brought over the idea from england for the textile mill which caused a great need for cotton from the south. to keep up with the great need for cotton in the north eli whitnney created the cotton gin which allowed cotton to be separated alot faster. production increades by 800% in the south. because of this invention an increase slave labor was needed to keep up. what 50 slaves could do by hand andin a long time now needed 100 slaves to pick the cotton needed. plantation owners became very rich held a huge amount of power which would influence there rep's vote in congress.

mr tesler the one above is mine but it wouldnt let me type my name. sorry!
oh and we have to comment on someones post so i "forgot" about south carolina. ardhys ,you bring up a great point because south carolina is a good example of sectionilism.
American expansion greatly contributed to sectional interests because each part of the nation benifited (or lost) in different ways. For example, when the Erie Canal was built, this was a great plus towards the North, but the South was harmed by it, since it would soon become more popular than the Mississippi River way of transporting goods. Different areas would become responsible for different things (i.e.: west provided meat, north jobs and factories, and the south, cotton).
It did create a foundation for the Civil War because it would put different sections in different positions as to what they were entitled to.
Americn nationalism evolved during this time by how each part of the nation contributed and counted on one another for differnt supplies; kind of like an ongoing cylce.
American expansion industrially had a large contribution to sectional interests. With an increasing amount of factories in the North, the area became urbanized and therefore different than its counterpart, the South. The invention of the cotton gin ran up the number of cotton fields in the South. However, this was work no immigrant nor farmer wanted, so they gave this task to the slaves. This is the foundation for the Civil War. The way the North was growing it didn't look like there would ever be a need for slaves, except for Southern contribution to the economy. The South was still being run on the profit its agriculture was in. Rising differences in societies and terms of industrialization set the two areas apart, and the nationalism that begun to go up was going down.
American expansion contributed to a huge increase of sectional interest. This was then called the "Marketing Revolution" as well as the "transportation revolution." While the south became the mass production of cotton, up in the north Whitney created a mill that picked the seed out of raw cotton. Plantation owners became rich. Aldo less slaves were need to work the machines, more were needed for the mass production of cotton. A foundation of the civil war was already in place due to America's idea on tariff,but it had all start back when the constitution of the United States of America had been created. Every region was different, but all the people living in the country consider themselves Americans.

The American expansion in the 1820s contributed to the rising of sectional interests in several ways. Some of these ways were new ideas, inventions, and ways of transportation. In the north, Samuel Slater brought the idea of textile mills form England to America which started the industrial revolution. This formed available jobs worked by women and children. They had to worked long hours in bad working conditions. In the south, Eli Whitney invented the cotton gin which made it faster and easier to remove seed form the cotton. New ways of transportation was also used, such as the Erie Canal and trains/railroads. This helped make trade faster in the United States. It didn’t create the foundation for the Civil War because it was already established in tariffs earlier. American nationalism was evolved in the same years since America was beginning to separate as the north and the south.
In the 1820s, American expansion contributed to the rising sectional interests. By having these new inventions like, for instance, textile mills come about, it started expanding jobs out to children and women. The Erie Canal had also been established and that was a new way of transportation and trade. And no, it didn't create the foundation for the Civil War because the tariffs that South Carolina refused to pay had already done that. And the American nationalism began to evolve during the same year because America had started being split into the North and the South. I think that Katherine brought up an excellent point.
American expansion in the 1820s contributed to sectional interests because as more inventions were being created, the need for slaves to run them in the South became greater. The Northerners, however, did not see a need for slaves. Another thing was that as new states were added, there were disagreements about whether or not they should be slave states. Although the ground had already begun to be laid for the Civil War, this amplified it greatly. The North and South would've had great differences either way due to their different environments, however, this was still a really a big factor in the start of the Civil War.

I agree that the ground had already basically been laid for the Civil War through the tariffs, and that's a good point.
:)
I agree with Nicole's statement; i agree with the idea that as different areas of the nation began looking more towards tehmselves, it would soon become an "every man for themselves" kind of battle field.
In the late 18th century, Eli Whitney invented the cotton gin in April 1793. This invention revolutionized the cotton industry and helped the American economy expand. It allowed farmers to clean/separate large amounts of cotton per day, which saved the economy in the Deep South. As many farmers began planting larger and larger fields of cotton, there was an increase in the need for labor. Many plantation owners turned to slavery as their source.
Meanwhile in the north, Francis Cabot Lowell founded the textile industry. He built the building alongside the Charles River in Waltham, Massachusetts. There, various machines converted raw cotton into cloth. Theses textile mills created a need for large amounts of labors. These positions were then filled by the many immigrants, who entered the country at the time, not by slaves. They worked for low wages, long hours, for up to 6 days a weeks.
Although the foundation was already laid for the Civil war in previous years, the Industrial Revolution re-sparked a flame on the issue of slavery. Before inventions such as the cotton gin, slavery in the south was very minimal compared to how many slaves there were during the Industrial Revolution. The north, instead of turning to slaves for labor, hired many immigrants, woman and small children to work in factories. They felt that slaves were not skilled enough to do the jobs like how the south felt that immigrants and woman were reluctant to undertake such terrible and difficult work in agriculture. This caused a rise in sectional interests.
During the American industrial revolution, the boost in industry caused a boost in the economy. The boost in economy, over all boosted American morale as well as national pride. This marked the beginning of the “Era of Good Feelings.”
American expansion contributed to rising sectional interests because it made the whole country improve. The north was the industrial part. The south produced a lot of cotton. The west was known as the Bread Basket. Each of sections contributed something to the economy, & this made the economy grow :3. As for the foundation for the civil war, that wasn’t created by this, because it was already here. An example being the tariff of abominations, which south countries, especially South Carolina, didn’t like. American nationalism evolved during the years because the South & North kinda separated.
I agree with all of you because all of you are just so amazing & deserved to be agreed with. <3 (
Lol. But no, I think Ardhys brought up good points with the foundation for the Civil War already having been there :3
Okay, I'm sorry. Its like four words over the amount asked. Anyways here it is:
The expansion of the US brought more people to the Country, such as Germans and Irish folk. They came here for freedom and better farming land. Considering America gained new territory, it was the perfect place to settle. This was a great foundation for the civil war. Americans didn’t seem to like the new immigrants. Especially the Nativists and Know-Nothings, who acted in violent ways against them. They thought these immigrants were poor, uneducated, from non-democratic backgrounds and looked down on them for being catholic. Nationalism arose by the innovation in products and transport; important inventions were the Cotton Gin, Telegraph, Steamboats, and railroads.
Reply to Caleyntaylor(I'm sorry, but I don't actually know how to reply. Anyway, here it is): I liked your summary about the blog. It wasn't as long as the other ones. It showed the main ideas about US. immigration and its dislikes from nativists. Nationalism had devoloped right after the end of the war of 1812. So, I don't think it was aroused by the innovations in products & transport.
Reply to Caelyntaylor(This is willfree kim. I don't know how to actually reply. Anyway, here it is): I liked your summary about the blog. It was short unlike the others. There were main ideas about U.S. immigration and its dislikes from nativism. Nationalism happened way after the Industrial Revolution started. So, it wasn't aroused by the innovation in products & transport.
