Answer 2

The correct answer is B) he was a Southerner who supported California’s admission as a free state.

The reasons some sections of the country feel betrayed by President Zachary Taylor was that he was a Southerner who supported California’s admission as a free state.

Zachary Taylor (1784-1850) had a conflictive tenure as a President because America was living a division between people that supported slavery and people that wanted the abolition of slavery. North vs. South. He confronted the Congress over the issue of the Californian territory. He wanted to admit the state of California in the Union as a free state. That is why some sections of the country feel betrayed by President Zachary Taylor was that he was a Southerner who supported California’s admission as a free state.
