Which two areas of disagreement led to sectional feeling in the united states before the civil war?

Answer:

After the American Revolution, and the establishment of a free United States from the colonies that had once been British property, agreement and peace did not ensue between them. There were several areas in which both the North and South states disagreed, and which eventually led to further conflict and to the endangerement of the entire nation. However, two of them stand out as the most important. The first, was, undoubtedly slavery, as it pertained to the territories that were annexed into the Union after the independence was reached, and the second, the level of involvement the federal government should have in regulating such matters as the economy and trade both between the states and with the outside world.

In the first case, slavery, the North and South differed in one essential point: the North wanted slavery to be abolished, while the South did not. The rift between the two regions was so great, and so insurmountable, that it became one of the reasons why the Civil War broke out. The real fight came because of the difference in views as to what was to be done with the territories that were starting to join the Union, whether slavery should be allowed to extend to these territories, or not. This would ensure whether the North, or the South, had the most power and control in the Union.

The second reason was the difference in views as to the level of involvement that the federal government should have in regards to regulation of commerce, state power, and especially the economy. As such, their views differed greatly on whether a Central Bank of the United States should be created, or not, whether protectionary tariffs should be set in place by the federal government, or if it was to be handled by the states, and finally, whether the federal government should be given the power to control internal improvements and thus use the nation´s taxes for such a centralized task, or if this should be given to each state independently.

The end result of these two factors, and others, led to the disastrous Civil War.

The two main areas that led to disagreement before the Civil War would include the dispute over slavery and the argument over states' rights.  

With the dispute over slavery, some states, especially in the North, believed the institution of slavery was morally wrong and wanted to stop slavery from spreading to expanding territories or areas.

That's why in the Compromise of 1850, California became a free state and slave trade was banned in Washington, D.C. because of all the support going against slavery.  

This terrible practice of slavery was talked about in books like <em>Uncle Tom's Cabin</em> by Harriet Beecher Stowe, and also was spoken out by famous abolitionists like Frederick Douglass and others.

People in the Southern states believed slavery was part of their lifestyle, culture, and economy, and argued that it needed to thrive to keep the South going.  

They wanted slavery to expand to territories and other states, like the argument of pushing slavery to go to Missouri.  

The South also believed that their individual state should have more power over the federal government and that they should have the right to get rid of federal laws if needed.  The South was not in favor of Abraham Lincoln keeping the country together when they were very divided on the issue of slavery as well as some government laws.

The North believed that the Union or country should stay together and that the federal government should have more power than the individual states.

Two opinion research organizations mentioned in the lesson are: Harris Census Pew Gallup
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Hard to say which research organizations were specifically mentioned in the unit you took with your teacher, so we'll trust the other respondent here that says it was Harris and Gallup.

Pew is a research organization also. The Census is not -- that's a US government function conducted every 10 years.

Let me give you some detail about each of the research organizations. I'll do so in alphabetical order.

Gallup, Inc. was founded by George Gallup in New Jersey in 1935, then called The American Institute of Public Opinion. Current headquarters of the Gallup organization are in Washington, DC, with over 30 offices located around the world. Gallup says that it "delivers analytics and advice to help leaders and organizations solve their most pressing problems," and claims that it "has more data and insights on the attitudes and behaviors of employees, customers, students and citizens than any other organization in the world."

Harris Insight & Analytics, headquartered in Rochester NY, conducts The Harris Poll, which was begun in 1963. The Harris Poll describes itself (on its website) as "one of the longest running surveys in the U.S. tracking public opinion, motivations and social sentiment." The stated mission of The Harris Poll is "to reveal the authentic values of modern society to inspire leaders to create a better tomorrow."

Pew Research Center, established in 2004, is headquartered in Washington DC. The Pew Research Center describes itself as "a nonpartisan fact tank that informs the public about the issues, attitudes and trends shaping the world." Pew Research conducts "public opinion polling, demographic research, content analysis and other data-driven social science research."
