26 Do you feel more allegiance to your region (Winston-Salem/Forsyth County), your state (North Carolina), or your country (the United States)?... Or another country? How do you associate these with your identity? What does it mean to you to be American? THINK-PAIR-SHARE

27 Nationalism  What do we have in common in this room?  What could our national identity be based on?  Is America united enough to be considered a nation?  Can nations exist that are not countries?

NATIONALISM: AN “ERA OF GOOD FEELINGS” REASONS: Success in War of 1812 Nationalist economics: Henry Clay’s American System Boost in federal power from Judiciary American art and literature flourish

29  What is SECTIONALISM?  First, let’s define REGION.  Part of a country or the world having definable characteristics but not always fixed boundaries  Some REASONS:  Differing economies: Industrial (North) vs. Agricultural (South)  Issues over slavery  Differences in population growth (Immigration )  Development of cities in the North SECTIONALISM SECTIONALISM is an exaggerated devotion or allegiance to the interests of a region (the North vs. the South).
