What contributed to the growth of Nationalism and Sectionalism in America During the Civil War?

Question

during the First Half of the 19th century

Answer 1

You are kidding right? The war itself did. Being in a war always lead to these extremes to grow. Look at any country that is in a war that is close to home and there it is.

Remember what happened to these 'sentiments' when 9-11 happened? Same thing.
