Answer
The second option, "The North was dependent on manufacturing and the South was dependent on agriculture," best describes the economic factors leading to sectionalism between the North and the South during the period in question. This economic divide between industrialization in the North and agrarian-based economy in the South contributed significantly to the development of sectionalism and eventually the Civil War in the United States.
