The period before the Civil War is known as the Antebellum period. In this time period, many reform groups were established to improve and perfect life in America. Because a large majority of the social reform took place in the North, the country was split, and the South believed that the social reforms were a northern conspiracy against the South. Most reform groups created sectionalism in America during the Antebellum period, however there were some reforms that brought the nation together creating nationalism.
