Answer:
Sojourner Truth was an abolitionist and activist who helped to recruit black troops to the Union Army during the Civil War.
Explanation:
Sojourner Truth was a former slave in New York who managed to escape with her infant daughter and later won a case against her former owner to have her son returned to her as well. She was also outspoken about women's rights and delivered a speech that became famous during the Civil War called "Ain't I a Woman?," although the speech circulating in the Civil War is said to be different and made to sound more southern than the one she originally gave at the Women's Convention in Ohio in 1851. She also helped to recruit black troops to the Union Army. After the Civil War she tried to secure land grants from the government for former slaves but that measure was largely unsuccessful. It is often referred to as the "forty acres and a mule" promise.
