Answer:
After the French and Indian War ended in 1763, the British government began a concerted effort to gain more control over the colonies and to collect additional revenues to reduce the debt incurred during the war. The Stamp Act, passed by Parliament and signed by the king in March 1765, was one such measure.
Sectionalism is the seperation bewteen two groups. Most all industry (factories) were in the North, and materials (such as cotton, sugar) were in the south. The south provided the north with raw materials and in return for goods/products. This caused sectionalism, because the North were generating more profits than the south. The south only had crops, and as the price of crops continued to go down, southerners were getting angry. The industrial revolution further divided the country, it was the urban vs. the rural.
