How do Nationalism and Sectionalism differ?
• Nationalism: feelings of pride and loyalty to a nation.
• Sectionalism: Devotion to the interests of one geographic region over the interests of the country as a whole.
Expanding America
• Convention of 1818-Set border between United States and Canada at 49'N latitude and West to the Rocky Mountains.
• Adams-Onis Treaty 1819- Gave Florida to the United States in return for Texas.
Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo 1848
