She recruited black troops for the Union army during the Civil War.
Sojourner Truth successfully won a lawsuit in 1828 that secured her son's return after he was illegally sold into slavery. She also won a landmark case in 1828 when a white man was convicted of slander for falsely claiming that she was not truly free.
Sojourner Truth gained her freedom in 1827 when her owner, John Dumont, released her from slavery. Despite promises of freedom, Dumont reneged, prompting Truth to escape with her infant daughter to freedom before he could sell her to a different owner.
Sojourner Truth was a New York free Black woman who fought for emancipation and women's rights. Born into slavery, she became a prominent abolitionist and women's rights activist, delivering powerful speeches advocating for both causes. Her famous "Ain't I a Woman?" speech remains a cornerstone of her advocacy work.
Sojourner Truth advocated for freedom for several reasons, including her belief in the inherent rights of all individuals to be free from oppression and discrimination. She also emphasized the importance of equality and justice for all, regardless of race or gender. Truth's experiences as an enslaved person and her deep commitment to social reform fueled her passionate advocacy for freedom and civil rights.
She did not "free" African Americans. She simply stood up against the inequalities, gave speeches on the subject, wrote books and attempted to obtain land grants for African Americans after the civil war. [She had help recruite African Americans into the civil war.]
