Answer:
A divided regional identity (with a bit of national unity) developed.
Explanation:
Politics: Some contributed (voting rights) to unity, others (nullification) clearly divided the country.
Economics: Market revolution was a bit of both but Tariffs and the clash between the industrial north and the agricultural south was dividing the country and contributed to a regional identity.
