S. The North, South, and West needed the same natural resources to produce products.

The correct answer is "the North, South, and West had differing economic and political goals."

The main reason for sectional differences that existed in the United States in the early 1800s was that the North, South, and West had differing economic and political goals.

Indeed, it was a time of notorious divisions and sectorial differences between the North and the South of the United States.

At that time, there were 22 states considered from the North, and 11 from the South. The northern states were against segregation, while southern states supported slavery. Indeed, the economy of the southern states depended on the use of slaves to work in the large plantations producing the kinds of crops needed to be exported to Europe. On the other hand, the industries flourished and spread throughout the north. The DIfference increased to the degree of separation. The South ceded from the Union and formed the Confederate States, and then, the inevitable: the beginning of the American Civil War.
