(50 POINTS AND I"LL GIVE BRAINLIEST) Read the passage below=3
In 1806, 9-year-old Isabella Baumfree and her family lived on the
property of Charles Ardinburgh of Ulster County in New York. When
Ardinburgh died, Isabella found her mother in tears.
"Mau-mau, what makes you cry?" Isabella asked.
"Oh, my child, I am thinking of your brothers and sisters that have been
sold away from me," her mother replied.
Soon after, Isabella too was separated from her mother. She was
auctioned1—along with other slaves, horses, and cattle—and
purchased for $100. She was sold again and again, from master to
master, until she was emancipated2
in 1828.
Students of history know Isabella better by the name she chose as an
adult—Sojourner Truth. Truth was an abolitionist. She spoke out
against slavery. But what some people may not know is that Truth was
one of thousands of slaves who were bought, sold, and forced to do
labor in the North.
"Many people are surprised when you talk about slavery in the North,"
Alan Singer, a professor of education at Hofstra University, told Senior
Edition. "We associate slavery with the South, even though the biggest
importer of slaves—after South Carolina—was New York City."
Historians are beginning to bring slavery in the North into the spotlight.
The New York Historical Society recently presented an exhibition on
slavery in that state. Singer, who travels the country to talk to students
about slavery in the North, wants people to remember that slavery was
a national institution.
The slave trade helped finance the Industrial Revolution in many
major Northern cities, such as Boston and New York City. The Industrial Revolution was a period of rapid growth in the use of
machinery in the early 1800s. Many U. S. businesses got their start with
profits from slave-produced goods and the slave trade.
It’s important to understand how slavery affected the entire country,
because its effects linger through discrimination, Singer says. "Kids see
slavery as something that happened in the deep past," he told Senior
Edition. "I want children to know that we still live with the effects of
that slavery society."
