Answer:

The answer is D. Free-Soilers opposed slavery for different reasons.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here are what my notes say from Plato:

"Free-Soilers were a group made up of antislavery people, including abolitionist Northerners, racist Westerners who didn't want African American people in their territories at all, and those opposed to slavery for economic reasons"

It is definitely not E, because they did not accept slavery, It is not A, because some people in the group (like the Westerners) did not see it as right or wrong (moral), they just wanted them gone. It is also not C because although there were people in the group who did oppose it for economic reasons, not all of them were that way. Lastly, is is definitely not B, because the Free-Soilers did not oppose slavery itself, they only opposed the expansion of slavery.

Therefore, your answer is D.
