The national political system in the U.S. broke down in the 1850s primarily due to deepening divisions over slavery and its expansion into new territories. The failure of compromises, such as the Missouri Compromise and the Compromise of 1850, highlighted the inability of existing political structures to address these tensions. Additionally, the formation of new political parties, like the Republican Party, and the violent confrontations of "Bleeding Kansas" further polarized the nation. This turmoil ultimately set the stage for the Civil War.
