Balancing Nationalism and Sectionalism

At this time the Indian Removal Act was taking place. This was a start for the people of the nation because they were making the Indians move out west. They were taking their homes and treating them savages. They were doing this as a nation and all agreed on this. But at the same time most people were only for making decisions based on what was best for their section and not the nation as a whole.

I think that being a nation means to be together as one whole when making any decisions, no matter how large or small. This includes decisions such as court and laws. I think that being a nation means working together as one unit. I also think that being a nation means that the people will decide not only what is good for their state, but what is best for all the states as a whole.
