Created division among the Southern states.

Explanation:

One of the main causes of the American Civil War was the victory of Republican Abraham Lincoln in the election of 1860. Southern states favored slavery because it was their main work force, while Northern states were already free states and wanted slavery to end, since Lincoln wanted to stop slavery, a division among Southern states and Northern states was created with his victory, causing the secession of Southern states from the Union and the creation of the Confederate States.
