    sectionalism is just small scale nationalism. if you're against one and for the other your a hypocrite.

    nationalism is only good when your the suppressed racial minority with cultural differences from the rest of the nation. such as the czechs in early germany and austria. nationalism was good for them because they needed a way to protect their culture and beliefs. no better way than to have your own country. but nationalism is bad when it makes people poeple that france is better than germany therefore you have to invade and take germany.

    meh

    like france would do that..-wink-

    Sectionalism- the belief of putting a sections interest over the nation.

    Nationalism-putting the nations interest over states interest.

    There converse statements. So no hypocrisy here. :D

    That, or:

    Nationalism: believing your nation is better and more deserving than other nations.
    Sectionalism: believing your section is better and more deserving than other sections.

    I believe this is more or less what The Fame Monster was getting at.
