How did transportation issues in the early 1800s contribute to sectionalism in the United States?
a
Southerners felt that too much of their valuable farmland was being taken to build unnecessary canals in the South.
b
New transportation systems such as railroads and canals favored connecting the North and West, limiting the South’s access to major trade networks.
c
Westerners objected to new transportation systems being built to connect the South and North, excluding the West.
d
Railroads were funded with tax money, upsetting many northerners who objected to funding a project that only benefited the South.
