Analyze that sectional conflict and relate it to the issues that divided Democratic Republicans and National Republicans during the Jacksonian Period. How did this conflict lead to the Civil War?

Answer with Explanation:

After the 10th U.S. Presidential election, the Democratic-Republicans divided into two groups, the Democratic Party and the National Republic Party.

The Democratic Party was the group that supported General Adams Jackson while the National Republic Party was the group that supported President John Quincy. This was the sectional conflict or faction that occurred during the Jacksonian Period.

Jacksonian Democracy was all about "equal political policy." It also enhanced the participation of the public in the government. It also supported the expansion of America through Manifest Destiny. However, this democracy was opposed by the "National Republicans" (which, later on, merged with the Whig Party.) This was also known as the "anti-Jackson opposition." They wanted to restrict imports from other countries and favored the American system and the national bank (which the Democratic Party highly contradicted). They also wanted "tariffs" to provide support to the government.

Such conflicts led to the Civil War. Another reason was the issue on "slavery." The Southern states wanted to keep their slaves, so they hoped to abolish the federal laws and expand such practice into the west.
