Elizabeth Freeman, also known as Mum Bett, successfully argued in court that the Massachusetts Constitution's declaration of all men being born free and equal applied to African Americans like herself.

Elizabeth Freeman, also known as Mum Bett, used the argument that the Massachusetts state constitution declared all men equal to successfully win her freedom in court. She argued that this principle should apply to all individuals, regardless of race, and that slavery was therefore unconstitutional. This landmark case, known as Brom and Bett v. Ashley, led to the abolition of slavery in Massachusetts.
Elizabeth Freeman was born in 1876. The 13th amendment of the Constitution which ended legal slavery was enacted in 1865. Thus Ms. Freeman was never a slave.A wiki link is in the related links section.
