What effect did the new party system have on politics during the 1850s?

Strict divisions made political compromise impossible. With rise of what 1 critic labeled "geographic" parties, ideological and policy differences between the North and the South were sharpened, & moral issues such as slavery were brought to the forefront of political debate. However, this had the disadvantage of thwarting political compromise and promoting political polarization.

I beleive that c would be correct if thats not tthe case sorry but try a after
