Sectional differences refers to both cultural and economic difference that happen between american states after the civil war.  

Not long after the civil war, the northern states keep developing a strong industrialization in their territories while the southern states were left in disarray since the majority of their free labors have become a free citizen. This cause the northern states to develop faster economic growth than the southern states. and created the sectional difference.

texas governor sam houston opposed secession, but was unable to prevent it. in this speech, given prior to lincoln's election, he presents the argument that slavery would be safer within the united states than outside of it. it was a prescient argument, and one held by several other southern leaders.
