In a single word the cause of the break between jack and the other boys is... Jack. After the hunt for the beast Jack proclaims, at the meeting, that Ralph had accused the hunters of being cowards. This is a blatant lie but Jack, in his power obsessed mind, seems to think that the other boys will not only believe his accusation but will also obey his call to take the leadership away from Ralph and bestow it on himself. The other boys are embarrassed by Jack's lies and his naked and obvious attempt to grasp power. They therefore remain silent when Jack demands a vote to overthrow Ralph. Jack, who knows he has crossed a line which cannot be retraced realises that he has made his own position untenable, so he walks away, alone.
