Answer:
Joseph Raymond McCarthy was an American politician who served as a Republican U.S. Senator from the state of Wisconsin from 1947 until his death in 1957
Explanation:
Beginning in 1950, McCarthy became the most visible public face of a period in the United States in which Cold War tensions fueled fears of widespread Communist subversion. He is known for alleging that numerous Communists and Soviet spies and sympathizers had infiltrated the United States federal government, universities, film industry, and elsewhere. Ultimately, the smear tactics that he used led him to be censured by the U.S. Senate. The term "McCarthyism", coined in 1950 in reference to McCarthy's practices, was soon applied to similar anti-communist activities. Today, the term is used more broadly to mean demagogic, reckless, and unsubstantiated accusations, as well as public attacks on the character or patriotism of political opponents.
The correct answers are A) economic differences, B) the presidential election of 1860, D) social differences, and E) the issue of slavery.
<em>The following were causes of sectionalism: A) economic differences, the presidential election of 1860, social differences, and the issue of slavery.</em>
Sectionalism divided the United States into many forms. It confronted American people on a variety of issues that ended up in a bloody Civil War. The presidential election of 1860 divided the nation. Republican candidate Abraham Lincoln defeated Democratic candidate Stephen A Douglass, and Constitutional Union candidate Jhon Bell. There were many economic differences that divided poor people that tried to make a living with the wealthier people. This created social differences that were notorious and showed the lack of basic things that many people had. And of course, slavery, the issue that divided the North against the South. The Northern states supported desegregation laws while in the South they were against desegregation. For the Southern states, slavery was the base of the economy in the farm fields.
