True.
Slavery increasingly created a North–South (sectional) divide that cut across party lines: Northern and Southern members of the same parties often clashed over slavery, and by the 1850s national parties were fracturing into sectional blocs (e.g., split Democrats, the rise of the Republican Party in the North), setting the stage for secession and the Civil War.
