Answer :

The results of the 1796 electoral college voting showed how this mentality was dividing the nation: Sectionalism.

Sectionalism is the allegiance to a certain area or group inside the country as opposed to the country as a whole. In many nations, including the UK, sectionalism is a problem. In Scotland, a British province, it is particularly pronounced, where a number of sectionalist/separatist political parties and groups have existed since the early 1920s, starting with the Scots National League. The Scottish National Party (SNP), which may be regarded as both sectionalist and separatist, is currently most firmly connected with and in favour of Scottish sectionalism. The SNP is in favour of both increased Scottish autonomy while it is still a part of the UK and Scottish independence.
