The US was divided along sectional lines primarily due to differences in economic interests, social structures, and political ideologies between the North and the South. The North was more industrialized and favored tariffs and a strong federal government, while the agrarian South relied on slave labor for its cotton economy and advocated for states' rights. These conflicting interests heightened tensions over issues such as slavery, leading to political strife and ultimately the Civil War. This sectionalism was exacerbated by cultural differences and divergent views on human rights and liberty.

Why do most western states have straight lines?

Many states in the Western US had their borders made along lines of latitude and longitude resulting in straight borders. This was done because the areas that became states were sparsely populated and often not entirely explored. So that a costly exploration and mapping of the borderlands to find a suitable boundary could be avoided, the people in charge of the states simply marked borders along lines they knew the existence of.
