Sectionalism is the idea that a person is loyal to the region in which they live rather than their country. This was seen in the United States, especially during the pre-Civil War years. During this time, also known as the antebellum era, many Northerners and Southerners identified themselves by the region they live rather than as Americans. This was caused by several different factors, one of the most prevelant being whether or not the institution of slavery should be expanded into new territories gained by the US during westward expansion.

Sectionalism in an exaggerated attention to one's own section, or group or local interests.
Another way of saying it is that it is a way to divide countries, states and cities.

A bit of added detail:

I'd like to explain more about one item in the list above -- the policy of "brinkmanship" during the Eisenhower administration.

John Foster Dulles was Secretary of State under US President Dwight Eisenhower. Dulles held the office from 1953 to 1959. He wanted a change from what had been the "containment policy" which the US had followed during the Truman Administration, as recommended then by American diplomat George F. Kennan. Dulles felt the containment approach put the United States in a weak position, because it only was reactive, trying to contain communist aggression when it occurred.

Dulles sought to push America's policy in a more active direction; some have labeled his approach "brinkmanship." In an article in LIFE magazine in 1956, Dulles said, "The ability to get to the verge without getting into the war is the necessary art." He wasn't afraid to threaten massive retaliation against communist enemy countries as a way of intimidating them.
