How did the break up of the second party system contribute to the Civil War?

When the Whig party fell apart and later when the Democratic party was split 3 ways, it allowed for a Republican to gain the presidency. No value judgments are made in this answer.

Common people in the South feared a new society with freed slaves so they bought into the secessionist movement. The bottom line was that the divided Democrats foolishly gave away the 1860 presidential election.
