Sojourner Truth supports freedom.

/kloc-After the 0/9th century, especially after the smell of industrial revolution began to spread in North America, the economy in the northern part of the United States (compared with the highly agricultural south) was more dependent on industrial production and material processing. Industrialized production, coupled with a steady stream of immigrants mainly from Europe, reduced the economic demand for slavery in the northern United States. In addition to socio-economic factors, religious thoughts and moral factors have also charged slavery with "immorality". /kloc-The second Great Awakening Movement at the end of 0/8th century made more people in northern America convert to Christianity and encouraged them to think about social phenomena. Slavery in the United States at that time was one of the systems criticized by many people. Slavery became one of the important factors of American social opposition in the mid-Kloc-0/9th century.

For American slaves, the road to freedom is long and difficult. It was not until 1865 that the American Civil War ended that slavery was formally and completely abolished in the Constitution (the 13th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America). Sojourner's legislature in New York began the process of gradually abolishing slavery as early as 1799. However, the legislative process of abolishing slavery went through hardships, and it was not until1July 4, 827 that New York officially abolished slavery. 1826, the abused Sojena fled her master's family with her newborn daughter Sophia (at that time, she couldn't take her other four children because the law stipulated that their slave status would accompany them until they were 20 years old). Later, she said, "I didn't run because I felt disgraced." I left (quietly) because I believed it was right. I didn't run away because I thought it was evil, but I walked away and thought it was good. )

One day, Sojaina learned that her five-year-old son Peter had been sold by her former owner. With the help of some people, Sogener took the matter to court. A few months later, Sojaina won the case and got back her son who was sold and abused.

Under the influence of Elijah Pearson and others, Sojourner converted to Christianity and became a fanatical Christian. She started missionary work in the street with Pearson. As she once said, "The Holy Spirit is calling me, and I must go", she left new york and embarked on the road of traveling and preaching. While preaching, Sojourner also actively participated in the propaganda of abolitionism and feminism, and gained quite a few supporters when traveling in the Midwest.

However, the road to equality is long and arduous. Although they have gained more rights than before, the social living conditions of black slaves are still far from ideal, and the real equality in the sense of legal system will be gradually realized after the American human rights movement more than 100 years later. However, the hard road and the ridicule of others did not hinder Sojourner's will to make progress. She became more and more frustrated, and actively devoted herself to the cause of human rights and social reform.
