Explanation:

• Question 13: The Liberty Party was an abolitionist - oriented political party in the United States. Its main goals were centered around ending the slave trade and preventing the expansion of slavery.
• Question 14: William Henry Harrison, like Andrew Jackson, was a war hero. In the 1840 election, the Whig Party thought that a war - hero image (similar to the popular Andrew Jackson) would be more appealing to voters. Henry Clay, while a prominent politician, did not have the same war - hero status that the Whig Party believed would help in winning the election.

Answer:

• Question 13: C. End the slave trade and halt the expansion of slavery
• Question 14: A. Harrison, like Andrew Jackson, had gained fame as a war hero
