Why did the northern Whigs and the southern Whigs split apart in the 1850s?

The northern and southern Whigs split apart in the 1850s primarily due to deepening divisions over the issue of slavery. Northern Whigs, increasingly opposed to the expansion of slavery into new territories, aligned with the anti-slavery movement, while southern Whigs sought to protect and promote the institution of slavery. Compounding these tensions were debates over the Kansas-Nebraska Act and the rise of the Republican Party, which further polarized the Whig Party. Ultimately, these ideological differences led to the party's collapse and the emergence of new political alignments.
