Based on this, we can answer the other questions as follows:

Slavery was an important issue because its existence provoked disagreements, and enmities between the states, preventing a national union.

Sectionalism is the division of parts of a country to create new countries. This term relates to the civil war because the southern states wanted to secede from the country and create a new country.

The Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854 was the law that allowed settlers in Louisiana to rule on the legality of slavery. This act generated debates and confrontations between the southern and northern states as they had different opinions about slavery in the country.

The election of 1860 was won by Abraham Lincoln. This caused a revolt in southerners, as they believed that Lincoln would work for the interests of northern states and do them great harm.

How did southern and northern states view slavery?

Southern states saw slavery as necessary, as they believed that the country's agriculture depended on it, as slaves were no-cost labor. Northern states, on the other hand, saw slavery as a waste of industrial labor and believed that it was an immoral and anti-Christian system.
