Which point of opposition to Mr.Madison’s War was the most significant to growing sectionalism ?
Pavlova-9 [17]
<span>In the winter of 1814-1815 New England Federalists gathered in Hartford, CT to hold the Hartford Convention. This was a meeting for those who opposed Madison's War, better known as the War of 1812, and wanted to enact change in Washington for the many wrongs and complaints they had. Most of these came out of fears of being overpowered by southern and western states. This was a prime example of growing sectionalism as the end of the Federalist Party neared.</span>

How did Chinese culture change during the period of Disunion
AVprozaik [17]
The assumption that the empire could be ruled and united under the emperor was challenged as many different families and factions fought for control and continuously engaged in warfare and intrigues in order to gain or consolidate power.
Because of the lack of central control and stability, some of the grand projects envisioned by rulers like the Grand Canal or the Great Wall fell by the wayside because of a lack of funding and again the lack of control over the various factions.
This led in some ways to a return to looking inward and working within familial groups and locally controlled provinces.  The assumption of a national identity was slowed and even stopped in some places as different provinces again started to look out for their own interests and stood up to fight for them against anyone not willing to allow them that freedom.
