约翰．福瑞蒙特 (John C. Frémont) 被控叛乱
1848年1月31日

虽然发生了这件事情，但是福瑞蒙特还是受到美国人的欢迎。他和他的妻子洁西．班顿．福瑞蒙特 (Jesse Benton Frémont) 后来还是住在加州。在淘金潮期间，福瑞蒙特变成了千万富翁。在1850年时，他被选为加州第一届参议员之一。

因为福瑞蒙特是一位支持废除奴隶制度的名人，他也因此而声名大噪。共和党于是提名福瑞蒙特在1856年参加总统大选，同时还希望他在1864年能继续参选。在竞选期间，福瑞蒙特以「开创者」 (Pathfinder) 的身份自居，希望能带领国家洗脱奴隶制度的耻辱。虽然他从来没有赢得选举，但是福瑞蒙特在解放奴隶的努力上从未松懈。


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.
