I think sectionalism and the second great awakening is what divided the nation and most impacted the start of the Civil War.

The creation of slave and free states as a whole divided the nation. Over the decades many acts and laws had been passed in either to create compromises between the two half’s which constantly created tension.

Kayla George- I think the Missouri compromise had the most impact because even tho it was equal they were still have even more division coming to them and The Scott v. Sandford case brought them even MORE closer because it contributed more to the to slavery supporters

The event that I think had the most impact on dividing the U.S. before the Civil War was the Kansas-Nebraska Act in 1854. This law allowed the residents of Kansas and Nebraska to decide for themselves whether they would allow slavery, overturning the Missouri Compromise, which had prohibited slavery in those territories. The act also led to violent conflicts known as "Bleeding Kansas," as pro-slavery and anti-slavery settlers rushed into Kansas to influence the vote.

I think the event that had the biggest impact on the u.s before the Civil War is The Compromise of 1850 I picked this one because it also pushed the nation further against slavery and it caused a lot of of problems and beef.

The Missouri Compromise, I mean think about it. If I had to split my country in half to give slaves freedom id wanna argue and force my point across too tbh
