The event that most significantly split the Whig Party and contributed to the creation of the first Republican Party was **Bleeding Kansas**. This series of violent political confrontations involving anti-slavery and pro-slavery elements in Kansas during the 1850s highlighted the deep divisions within the Whig Party over the issue of slavery and exacerbated the political turmoil that led to the formation of the Republican Party.
