the North and the South?

On the issue of slavery.

Explanation:

The U.S. expansion towards the Pacific Ocean (the West) created the division between the North and the South. The reason for the divide was the practice of slavery. The South ( pro-slavery) wanted to introduce slavery as legal in the region where the North contained a lot of abolitionists who opposed slavery as an evil practice. The conflict began as settlers began to settle and buy fertile land at a fair price. Expansion towards westward lead to economic prosperity due to farming and ranches.
