municipality
territory
district
region

Explanation:

1. A nation founded on liberty and democracy allowing slavery was a major contradiction that created a significant divide. The "Great Divide" best represents this deep - seated conflict. The Electoral College is an institution for electing the president, the Mason - Dixon Line was a boundary, and "Eternal Enigma" is not relevant here.
2. Sectionalism is about regional differences and loyalties. Views for and against slavery were strongly influenced by one's region. Municipalities, territories, and districts are more local or administrative divisions compared to the broader concept of region in the context of sectionalism.

Answer:

1. Great Divide
2. region
