約翰‧福瑞蒙特 (John C. Frémont) 被控叛亂
1848年1月31日

雖然發生了這件事情，但是福瑞蒙特還是受到美國人的歡迎。他和他的妻子潔西‧班頓‧福瑞蒙特 (Jesse Benton Frémont) 後來還是住在加州。在淘金潮期間，福瑞蒙特變成了千萬富翁。在1850年時，他被選為加州第一屆參議員之一。

因為福瑞蒙特是一位支持廢除奴隸制度的名人，他也因此而聲名大噪。共和黨於是提名福瑞蒙特在1856年參加總統大選，同時還希望他在1864年能繼續參選。在競選期間，福瑞蒙特以「開創者」 (Pathfinder) 的身份自居，希望能帶領國家洗脫奴隸制度的恥辱。雖然他從來沒有贏得選舉，但是福瑞蒙特在解放奴隸的努力上從未鬆懈。


In spite of this episode, Frémont remained popular with the American public. He and his wife, Jesse Benton Frémont, stayed in California. During the gold rush, Frémont became a multimillionaire. In 1850 he was elected as one of California's first senators.

Frémont had established a reputation as an outspoken abolitionist, speaking out against slavery. The Republican Party nominated Frémont as its first presidential candidate in 1856 and wanted him to run again in 1864. He campaigned as the "Pathfinder" who would lead the country out of the shame of slavery. Although he never became president, Frémont did not give up his efforts to free the slaves.
