Before the Civil War, African-Americans were taken with their families from their homes and auctioned off to white landowners. At this point, many children were bought separately from their mother and father. If they were lucky, the whole family was bought altogether.
Sojourner Truth's real slave name was Isabella Baumfree. She was originally raised by Dutch owners after being sold away from her family. After many years of being traded to different slave owners and finally being freed, she became a Christian and took the name "Sojourner Truth."
Sojourner Truth was sold as a slave at around nine years old.
