This line from Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night is written in iambic pentameter.
An iamb is a foot (rhythmic unit) of two syllables; the first one being unstressed and the second one stressed. Penta = 5. This means that, in this line, we have 5 sets of iambic feet, which should read like this (lowercase unstressed, capital letters stressed):

wild MEN who CAUGHT and SANG the SUN in FLIGHT.

This pattern is also supported and used throughout the whole poem.

Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

Slavery was the main issue dividing the main parties.

Explanation:

The election of 1856 in which James Buchanan won as a Democratic presidential candidate, against the Know-Nothings party and the Republican party, shows that "Slavery was the main issue dividing the main parties."

This is evident in the fact that the Democratic party was perceived by the public as a party in support of slavery.

Hence, some Democrats and Whigs party members fall out to form new parties, the Know-Nothing Party, and the Republican party.

The Know-Nothings party has the ideal of anti-immigration, while the Republicans have the anti-slavery ideals.
