Answer:

In the early and mid-1800s, sectionalism was strongest In the South, where people felt their economy depended on slavery.

Step-by-step explanation:

The invention of the cotton gin in 1793 made the production of cotton more efficient and profitable, and the Southerns rely on the slaves to keep the cotton production using those machines and to increase their earnings. Many people state that the Southern economy wouldn't be that wealth if it wasn't for the slaves.
