Answer:

see my explained notion below:

Step-by-step explanation:

The party (whigs) was active in both Northern United States and the Southern United States and did not take a strong stance on slavery, but Northern whigs tended to be less supportive of the institution than the Democratic counterparts. That's how slavery divided the whigs.
