It is called winner -take all system

founded on one of the fundamental principle of democracy, this system requires statesmanship from the losing candidate, a sacrifice that is not guaranteed. Most elections are bitterly contested and it is always possible for the losing side to feel disenfranchised which may lead to outbreak of clashes, as the losing side supporters feel cheated.
A typical case study is in the Kenyan election where tensions are always very high, especially when opposition leader Raila Odinga loss an election, as he is always unwilling to concede.

What were the immediate causes of the U.S civil war
Oduvanchick [21]

Political Parties Splinter: The issue of slavery split the Democratic Party in two in 1860.

The Election of 1860: Slavery was the main issue and Lincoln wanted to ban it in all new territories, and since the north had a bigger population than the South Lincoln had the most votes and won.

Southern States secede: Before Lincoln took office, seven states left the Union. The Confederate States of America chose Jefferson Davis as their president, and the right to slaves was allowed in their Constitution

Efforts at Compromise Fail: When he took office, Lincoln tried to save the Union without war.

First Shots at Fort Sumter: Lincoln calls South Carolina to tell that he is going to send ships there to supply the fort.

Lincoln Calls out the Militia: Lincoln asked the Union states to provide 75,000 militiamen. Slave States who were still in the Union got mad and some left. This is where the Civil War started to kick off.

Hope this helps, have a blessed day! :-)
