(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."
