Slavery divided them most definitely. The North was opposed to slavery completely and the South was for slavery. Britain gained much of Canada's territory after the seven years war so America was not focused on it at this time. Instead they focused on westward expansion which then caused issues with the Native Americans because they were imposing themselves on native soil.
