Elizabeth Freeman

From the early 1740's until 1829, an African-American woman lived, surprisingly became an important woman in history. Despite the fact that most people have never heard of her, what she did has changed the way people see other African Americans. Born in the early 1740s, she was born to parents of Africa and grew up with her older sister Lizzie at Krabelac, New York, about 32 miles south of Albany. Their boss is Peter Hoege Boom, the head of a wealthy Dutch American family. In 1735, Daughter Boum's daughter Hanna married John Ashley, one of the first owners of the Massachusetts State Court.

Elizabeth Freeman (1744 - 28 December 1829), also called Bet or MumBet, filed the first enslaved suits in Massachusetts State. The Massachusetts Supreme Court ruled that with the support of Freeman it was found that slavery was inconsistent with the Massachusetts Constitution of 1780. Her lawsuit, Brom and Bette vs Ashley (1781), was quoted at the Massachusetts Supreme Court appeal court in the Quick Walker Free Litigation. When the court upheld Walker's freedom under the state constitution, the judgment was implicitly considered to have ended slavery in Massachusetts.

As a child, Catherine Sedgwick was taken care of by Elizabeth Freeman (a slave often referred to as the Motherbait). Sedgwick 's father helped Freeman gain the freedom by challenging her suit in the county court in 1781. After winning Freedom Freeman accepted the proposal to work for Sedgwicks. Catherine was buried beside Mum Bett of Stockbridge. From the 1920s to the 1850s, Catherine Sedgwick had a great demand and led a good life to short stories written in various journals. As a teenage novel, a moral story, family literature, and countless novel writers, Sedgwick is a literary figure respected before her novel "Like Leslie" in New England and she is now Her popular works

Catherine Sedgwick, her and her father, author of Theodore Sedgwick, found an empathetic ear. Obviously, when she offered dinner for her host, she heard they are talking about freedom - in this case freedom from the UK - she applied the concept of equality and freedom to all did. In 1781 Freeman sued Sliwick and sued Brom and Bet vs. Ashley's case, which preceded the abolition of slavery in Massachusetts.
