Half-hearted attempts by outgoing President James Buchanan to stop secession had failed. In Congress, a proposed compromise measure intended to appease the South by extending the Missouri Compromise line dividing free and pro-slavery states to the Pacific Ocean also failed. When federal military forts in the South began to be overrun by secessionist forces, the war became inevitable.
While enslavement in the United States is perhaps the most often-cited example of sectionalism, deep regional differences have also played roles in the development of other countries.
Among the four constituent countries of the United Kingdom , sectionalism has figured most prominently in the development of modern Scotland, where strongly sectionalist political factions and parties first appeared in the s. Created by leaders of earlier sectionalist parties the Highland Land League and the National Committee , the SNL campaigned for Scottish independence reflecting the old traditions of Gaelic popular sovereignty.
Parliament retained control of defense and national security. In , the Scottish National League reorganized as the National Party of Scotland, and in merged with the Scottish Party to form the Scottish National Party, which today continues to work for full Scottish independence from the United Kingdom and the rest of the European Union. In , the once French colony of Quebec began a movement to gain its independence from Canada as its own sovereign French-speaking country.
Quebec is the only Canadian province in which French-speaking citizens make up the majority, while English speakers are an officially recognized minority group. However, the French-speaking people of Quebec feared that continued Canadian control would erode their language and culture. In and again in , Quebec held referendum votes to decide whether to remain a Canadian province or become an independent country. Though the margin was significantly smaller in the referendum, independence was rejected in both votes, leaving Quebec under the control of the Canadian government.
Sectionalism can currently be found playing itself out in the Spanish region of Catalonia, a semi-autonomous region of about 7. The wealthy region has its own language, parliament, police force, flag, and anthem.
Fiercely loyal to their land, Catalans had long complained that the Spanish government in Madrid devoted a disproportionately large share of their tax dollars to poorer parts of Spain. On October 27, the separatist-controlled Catalan parliament declared independence. In retaliation, Madrid imposed direct constitution rule over Catalonia for the first time in its 1,year history. The former Catalan president, Carles Puigdemont, fled and remains wanted in Spain, accused of raising a rebellion.
After the collapse of the Soviet Union in , the former Cold War Soviet satellite country of Ukraine became an independent unitary state. However, some regions of Ukraine remained heavily populated by Russian loyalists. In February , Russian troops seized control of Crimea and held a disputed referendum in which Crimean voters chose to secede and join Russia.

The people of New England shared certain characteristics and lacked the diversity experienced in the Middle or Southern colonies. During the mid s, as America was expanding westward, the economy of the different regions in America boosted.
The north based their economy off of the recently developed industries, whereas the south continued their work with agriculture and the production of cotton.
The demonstrations of division in America coexisted many: utopian societies, clashes over public space, backlash alongside immigrants, urban rebellions, black demonstration, and Indian oppositions.
America was a separated land in need of change with the South in the biggest demand. The South trusted heavily on agriculture, equally opposed to the North, which was vastly populated and an industrialized union. The South produced cotton, which remained its main cash crop and countless Southerners knew that hefty reliance on slave labor would damage the South ultimately, but their forewarnings were not regarded.
The South was constructed on a totalitarian system. The largest problem being that there was no trust between the two sides. Not until with the joining of the Knights of labor did the Party formally unite.
The knights of labor brought a lot of support with them because they were a major labor union in industrial areas. The Knights were glue for the groups even though most of the parties support came from west and the south. While some of them worked for wages, others felt that it was best for them to rent out the land.
During the congressional Reconstruction phase, sharecropping became a system to move the economy forward after the war in the south. This system of labor appeared in tobacco and cotton regions where most freed people lived Of the people, This term of. This meant that after using a field a few times for cotton production that you would have to move on, or grow something much less profitable.
Only the top portion of the farmers in the South could afford to sustainably, and profitably produce cotton in large amounts. Most farmers in the South had much smaller farms, and more often than not would go into debt. This relative economic instability when compared to the North was the leading cause of the Civil.
The 19th century was an era of dramatic change in the lives of African Americans. By the early s, cotton was the most profitable cash crop, and slave owners focused on clearing lands and securing laborers to proliferate cotton production.
The lack of available, fertile land in coastal areas compelled the move into the southern interior, sparking a massive westward migration of planters and slaves. The demands and rewards of the "King Cotton" economy resulted in a fivefold population increase during the first six decades of the 19th century, but it kept the South an unsophisticated agricultural economy.
