Yeah, that stuff was huge and a big problem!

# data[].attributes.body
I agree!

# data[].attributes.body
I agree!! South Carolina did seceed for a lot of reasons.

# data[].attributes.body
South Carolina seceded because they felt like the North was trying abolish their holy way of life, slavery. They also hated the tariffs and were angry about Lincoln's election.

# data[].attributes.body
Also they were afraid of what Lincoln might do.

Good, but it also helped contribute to nationalism because we "won" the war.

It's so weird that we had the exact same points, in the same order, but I agree with them.

# data[].attributes.body
South Carolinians were scared and afraid of change, I agree, but they also left because of tariffs.

I agree with you; the War of 1812

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with you; the War of 1812 was definitely a major contributor to sectionalism. The different views sectioned people off

# data[].attributes.body
I agree that South Carolina's cotton industry was such a big part of the South that it was a big motivation to secede when it was threatened

# data[].attributes.body
South Carolina's secession was influenced by numerous factors, chief among them being the disagreement over slavery, but some honorable mentions include the tariffs and nullification crisis and the rise of cotton.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree, this is good, although another thing is they didn't want tariffs.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree. The south wanted to keep slaves so that they could produce more cotton to produce more money.

South Carolina Seceded for multiple reasons. One of the main reasons was that they felt threatened by the fact that the North was trying to abolish slavery. They also were angry about Lincoln's election because though he agreed to let slavery still exist, he was strongly against it.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree Elliot, they were afraid for their economy if slavery was abolished.

# data[].attributes.body
The reason the South saw it as necessary to secede was that their entire way of life for decades was centered around slavery. They had virtually no other industry and nothing to fall back on if slavery was abolished.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with you. The war of 1812 was a contributor to SC seceding.

# data[].attributes.body
The south did not want to give up their way of life asslave owners. They also didn't like the tariffs. When Lincoln was elected it was the final straw, and SC seceded.

The War of 1812 was a major contributor in the sectionalism crisis. When tensions rose as to the question of slavery in new territories, different groups had views on how it should be done. This led to states and territories becoming w

Also, they seceded when they did because Lincoln was elected.

The War of 1812 contributed to sectionalism, as the split between those who thought it necessary and those who disagreed with it argued.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree. The south thought that Abe Lincoln would destroy their way of life and they wouldn't let that happen.

# data[].attributes.body
South Carolina did not want to throw away their way of living. They used cash crops and slavery as a way to live. When Abraham Lincoln was elected, they were scared and angry and didn't want to give that up.

# data[].attributes.body
One argument for secession was that if slavery was abolished, the South Carolina economy would be destroyed. On the other hand, slavery was a terrible practice and made humans seem like property.

There were a couple reasons that South Carolina probably seceded. Firstly, they wanted to keep slavery, while the North did not. Taxation was also a reason, but it was not as large of one. To them, the final straw was when Lincoln was elected president. They strongly disagreed with his views and with what he wanted to do.

# data[].attributes.body
South Carolina's secession was caused by many things. Firstly, their entire economy was based on cotton, so slaves were needed to work on their plantations so they could get rich. The North was threatening their right to slaves, but the southerners wanted to stay rich. There were also tariffs that the southerners disliked.

# data[].attributes.body
They wanted to protect the right to have slaves. They were also angry that Abraham Lincoln was elected president and they thought that he would try to abolish slavery.

# data[].attributes.body
South Carolina seceded because they wanted to keep doing things their way. They wanted to have slavery and Abraham Lincoln was going to end slavery. They also did not like the taxation and the States Rights.

# data[].attributes.body
Westward Expansion contributed to the crisis by threatening the balance between free and slave states, causing the government to have to compromise

# data[].attributes.body
I agree. Cotton was a big help for the south. They thought that Abraham Lincoln would take away the ability to produce a large amount of cotton.

# data[].attributes.body
Some arguments for secession were: South Carolina's industry was going to be destroyed if slavery was abolished and the North was not considering the South's problems as seen by the tariffs. Some reasons against secession were: the US had all the resources and structure of an established nation, if they seceded they would to create a new government, they would need to create a new currency and national funds.

# data[].attributes.body
South Carolina had several reasons for secession. They were not willing to give up there rights to slavery because their economy would be destroyed. In addition, the South was not happy with the tariff and the North was not willing to give it up because of how much they benefited from it

# data[].attributes.body
South Carolina seceeded for multiple reasons. The first was that they wanted to preserve their way of life, which included slavery. Taxation and the issue of States' Rights were more minor issues, but still contributed to their list of reasons to seceed. The final straw was when Abraham Lincoln was elected president. That's becuause they diasgreed with his veiws on slavery and plans for the country.

# data[].attributes.body
South Carolina probably seceded because their entire way of life was based around cotton. The way that South Carolina grew cotton required slaves and if slavery was abolished, their entire way of life would come crashing down.

# data[].attributes.body
South Carolina seceded because of several reasons. One of the first things that sparked the idea of secession was the nullification crisis. South Carolina made a majority of its profit from cotton exports and tariffs created during the nullification crisis endangered South Carolina's economy. The state wanted the right to nullify the tariffs and the question of state rights arose in America. South Carolina used slaves to farm cotton so the abolitionist movement was also a main cause of secession. The south, more specifically S.C., was sacred of losing their right to own slaves. After Abraham Lincoln was elected, a representative from the Republican party which was anti-slavery, South Carolina was pushed to secede because of its strong relation to slavery, support of the use of slaves, and the fear the newly elected president would abolish slavery.

# data[].attributes.body
Sectionalism arose from the growing divide between how the North lived and how the South lived. Southerners needed slavery while the North didn't. When the South felt that the government was favoring the North, the South saw it as an insult.
