Nationalism is an ideology that fosters deep attachment to one's nation. Sectionalism is allegiance to one's particular section of the country. The distinction between nationalism and sectionalism is most significant in the antebellum era, when sectional conflict between the north and south overtook nationalist feelings and led to the civil war. Nationalists did not like the controlling feeling of the allegiance to one section of the country.
