The Kansas-Nebraska Act is said to be the cause of the Whig Party to dissolve. The Whigs had previously united the battling interest groups in the North and the South. Southern Democrats and Northern Democrats also split apart. As many southerners and northerners could no longer use the Whigs as a uniting party, the Whigs fell apart.
