This is called the fallacy of positive instances.

The fallacy of positive instances is a biased and erroneous way of thinking, wherein we <span>tend to remember or notice information that seems to confirm our expectations and existing beliefs about unusual phenomena.

The answer is helplessness theory or learned helplessness. It is when people feel helpless to avoid negative situations because previous experience has shown them that they do not have control. An example is imagine that you just failed a major test. There are some things that you could say were the reason for that: 'I'm stupid.' 'I didn't study hard enough.' 'The test was too hard.'

Each of those reasons can be seen as a not the same type of attribution. An attribution is an aspect that a person blames for the consequence of a situation. The three types of attribution is global, stable, and internal. An internal attribution is any attribution that gives the root of an event as something to do with the person, as contrasting to something in the outside world. A stable attribution is one that doesn't change over time or across situations. Finally, a global attribution is the acceptance that the factors affecting the consequence relates to a large number of situations, not just one of them.

Answer:

The abolitionists were accused of provoking stronger sectionalism because they used violent and aggressive tactics and actively worked to undermine the slave system in the south.  

Explanation:

Some historians say that the abolitionists actually helped to strengthen sectionalism in the south because In the North, the abolitionist feeling grew and there was opposition to the extension of slavery into the Western regions that had not yet become states. The Southerners believed that slavery was essential to their economy and even non-slaveholding whites in the the south generally supported slavery because they did not want the competition for land from free blacks. In 1835 antislavery mailings were sent to southern post offices and this angered the pro-slavery segment of Southern society. John Brown was an abolitionist who tried to start a slave revolt in the south in 1859 with a raid on an arsenal at Harpers Ferry, West Virginia.
