    The increase in sectionalism and the tensions that arose from it was surprising to me because I naively assumed the United States was for the most completely united at this point in Antebellum America. The political polarization and its dramatic impact on the political landscape of the 1850s was very interesting to learn about. The creation of two political parties‚ Democrats and Whigs‚ really cemented the notion of the divide between North and South. The rise of such parties as the Free-Soil Party
