I don’t see either party whigging out. Neither is sufficiently torn apart by strife approaching the level of the Whigs who were split over the overriding issue of slavery.

Absolutely right. The ONLY reason the Whigs disappeared is that while the Dems were pro-slavery, the Whigs refused to be anti-slavery.
