Social tensions were similar to ethnic and religious. Immigrants wanted to go westwards and establish new states, and locals wanted to get land and become politicians in new states, which caused problems. For example, Mormons were religiously prosecuted constantly and had to go as far as Utah in the end. Political tensions were party related and slavery related. They grew out of ideas on whether new states should be slave states or not.
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.
