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.

1. What was the plight of the farmers?
Anni [7]
At the end of the 19th century, about a third of Americans worked in agriculture, compared to only about four percent today. After the Civil War, drought, plagues of grasshoppers, boll weevils, rising costs, falling prices, and high interest rates made it increasingly difficult to make a living as a farmer. In the South, one third of all landholdings were operated by tenants. Approximately 75 percent of African American farmers and 25 percent of white farmers tilled land owned by someone else.
Every year, the prices farmers received for their crops seemed to fall. Corn fell from 41 cents a bushel in 1874 to 30 cents by 1897. Farmers made less money planting 24 million acres of cotton in 1894 than they did planting 9 million acres in 1873. Facing high interests rates of upwards of 10 percent a year, many farmers found it impossible to pay off their debts. Farmers who could afford to mechanize their operations and purchase additional land could successfully compete, but smaller, more poorly financed farmers, working on small plots marginal land, struggled to survive.

Many farmers blamed railroad owners, grain elevator operators, land monopolists, commodity futures dealers, mortgage companies, merchants, bankers, and manufacturers of farm equipment for their plight. Many attributed their problems to discriminatory railroad rates, monopoly prices charged for farm machinery and fertilizer, an oppressively high tariff, an unfair tax structure, an inflexible banking system, political corruption, corporations that bought up huge tracks of land. They considered themselves to be subservient to the industrial Northeast, where three-quarters of the nation's industry was located. They criticized a deflationary monetary policy based on the gold standard that benefited bankers and other creditors.

All of these problems were compounded by the fact that increasing productivity in agriculture led to price declines. In the 1870s, 190 million new acres were put under cultivation. By 1880, settlement was moving into the semi-arid plains. At the same time, transportation improvements meant that American farmers faced competitors from Egypt to Australia in the struggle for markets.

The first major rural protest was the Patrons of Husbandry, which was founded in 1867 and had 1.5 million members by 1875. Known as the Granger Movement, these embattled farmers formed buying and selling cooperatives and demanded state regulation of railroad rates and grain elevator fees.

Early in the 1870s the Greenback Party agitated for the issue of paper money, not backed by gold or silver, with the idea that a depreciating currency would make it easier for debtors to meet their obligations.

Another wave of protest grew out of the National Farmers' Alliance and Industrial Union (the Southern Farmers Alliance) formed in Lampedusa County, Texas in 1875, and the Northwestern Farmers' Alliance, founded in Chicago in 1880. By the late 1880s, the cooperative business enterprises set up by the Farmers' Alliances had begun to fail due to inadequate capitalization and mismanagement. By 1890, the Farmers Alliances had begun to enter politics. In 1892 the Alliance formed the Peoples' or Populist Party. Among other things, the Populists financed commodity credit system that would have allowed farmers to store their crop in a federal warehouse to await favorable market prices and meanwhile borrow up to 80 percent of the current market price.
