Northern colonies were more likely to have originated from Puritans who came to this country for religious freedom, exhibited characteristics of the Protestant Work Ethic and were farmers, fishermen and merchants with religious roots. For the most part, they were not pro-slavery. Southerners, on the other hand were frequently large plantation owners, dependent on slave labor. Their land was more likely have been acquired as a reward from Britain or an investment aimed at economic prosperity rather than an escape. Many southerners were Loyalists up to the Revolutionary War. These stark contrasts led to sectionalism.
If you are referring to the American Civil War, sectional tensions arose because of economic concerns. The South, in general, had an agricultural economy based on cotton and flue cured tobacco. Those crops had to be harvested by hand at that time. The North had more productive farms which could use machinery. They also had factories. The north also had a better transportation system. That made American produced goods less expensive in the North and more expensive in the south.
The North wanted a higher tariff so American factories could raise prices. That would raise prices in the south but have very little effect in the north. And, the abolitionist movement in the north wanted to end slavery. That last would not affect most southerners but higher prices would affect all of them. Still, an end of slavery would have affected the richest members of society and those have the largest influence.
The North had suffered more than the South in the War of 1812, and the Union had meant far more. Thus it was far more ready to preserve the union. However, the mountainous areas of the south and the southern part of Florida sided with the Union.
Sectionalism is when a person or group of people are more loyal to one section of a country than another. This meant that most Northerners were more loyal to the North (or the Union), and most Southerners were more loyal to the South than the union (hint: Secession). This caused the two sides to not exactly see eye-to-eye, causing them to fight over a lot of things (mainly slavery and government). As a result, the two sides grew farther apart politically.
Because of the vast new territories acquired from Mexico, and the debate over which of them would be slave and which would be free.

Sectional differences developed in the US largely because?
economic conditions and interests in each region varied Going back as far as the colonial era the northern and southern regions of America had differed greatly economically. The northern states were based mostly in manufacturing, trade and some agricultural production, while the southern states were vastly agricultural. These early differences also help account for the rapid growth of slavery (in agriculture) in the south and its low incidence in the northern regions. These sectional and economic differences continued to divide the nation and helped contribute to the eruption of the Civil War in 1861.
