Answer 2

Answer:

Hedrick supported Fremont because "Fremont opposes the practice of slavery in the territories."

Explanation:

The party that Fremont belonged to held a view that the expansion of slavery westward should be stopped. This made the party extremely unpopular in the South.When asked by a student, Hedrick expressed his support to Fremont for president and when asked what he would do if the South were to be attacked by the North, he replied that he would extend his support to the North. This stirred up a controversy.

It is Hedrick's view that the system of slavery would bring more evil if continued. He believed that each one had the right to live as equals and as free men.
