The primary issue raised in "Uncle Tom's Cabin" that further divided the nation along sectional lines and contributed to the outbreak of the Civil War was:
**The novel highlighted the cruelty of slavery.**
"Uncle Tom's Cabin," written by Harriet Beecher Stowe, played a significant role in shaping public opinion about slavery in the North, highlighting its inhumanity and brutality. This contributed to the increasing tensions between pro-slavery and anti-slavery factions in the United States. The other options, such as the importance of slavery for economic reasons or the functioning of the Confederate states, are not central themes of the novel and do not reflect its main contributions to the sectional divide.
