At this time, Truth took another action that was unprecedented for an illiterate, penniless, newly-freed black woman. Instead of staying nearby, she left to pursue her calling on a larger stage. What this meant was that Truth was freed, while her five children had to remain in slavery. The law decreed that slaves born before 1799 gained their freedom on July 4, 1827-but those born later were required to serve their masters until age 28 if male, 25 if female. After being sold for the third time, she remained with the same family until she was emancipated by New York law in 1827. At age 9, the Dutch-speaking slave was sold for $100 to a man who spoke only English and she was beaten for failing to understand his instructions.

I said: “Come closer that I may discern your features clearly, for at this distance the starlight is not strong enough to illumine them.” Then, with modest demeanour, eyes lowered, she crossed the greensward and reached my side. A beautiful woman whom I could scarcely discern also exerted her bewitching sway upon me and looked at me with compassion. Night was beginning to spread the blackness of her veil over nature. Let us give thanks for this happy day.” But I replied: “Go! I did not summon you. He approached me and held out his hand: “I have come to you, you who seek me.
