Nationalism- A feeling of pride, loyality and protectiveness toward our country.

Sectionalism- Loyality to the interests of your own region or section of the country, rather than to the nation as a whole. 
 * Some interesting things we found in the reasearch about Nationalism and Sectionalism is that between the years of 1825 to 1855 the price of the tranportation on land fell 95% when its speed increased fivefold.
 * The population of the dwellers in the cities increased between the years of 1820s to 1840s.
 * Nationalism was based on the victory of U.S in the war of 1812 and sectionalism was based on the Civil War that divided the North from the South.
 * Trade stimulated by the canal helped New York City become the nation's largest city.
