Fremont and Slavery Debate Testimonials in 1856
The document quotes John M. Welch and Col. J. Fremont supporters detailing Fremont's Christian beliefs and anti slavery stance. It recounts a journal entry from twenty years prior describing Fremont's temper and views, and notes reactions from Maine and other states, including calls for firm measures against the Kansas slavery code and the broader 1856 political mobilization. The items mix personal recollections with partisan commentary on Fremont’s leadership and the nation’s divide.
