4 Black Slave Women Of History.

As we continue in our series on 4 Black Slave Women of History, we come to our second Lady.


Mum Bett 1742-1829. In later years she would change her name to Elizabeth Freeman.

Mum Bett was born a Slave and spent her young adult years in the household of John Ashley in Massachusetts. When Ashleys wife attacked  her Betts appealed to a local Abolitionist who brought her case to the courts. Betts was granted her freedom and 30 shillings in damages. In 1781 with the case Brom and Betts VS ASHLEY, Betts became a paid Servant and raised a family on her wages. She proved to be a driving force in ending  the Slave Trade in the Commonwealth of Massachuesetis. She became the first Black Slave Women to win her way out of Slavery.

4 Black Slave Women of History.

In this Black History month  of February 2013 I must honor 4 Black Slave Women of History.


The first Slave Women that I will speak of is a Lady By the name of  SARAH Sally Hemings. 1773-1835.

A mixed race  Slave Women who became the SEX SLAVE of our 3rd Presidnt Thomas Jefferson.

Mr Jefferson Fathered A number of Childern by Miss Hemings and iam tolded that Mr Jerfferson enjoyed Miss Hemings company for over 40yrs. However Mr Jefferson never saw fit to give Miss Hemings her Freedom before he died.

So Miss Hemings after giving herself to President Jefferson for over 40yrs died a Slave and never became a Free Women.

I have 3 more Black Slave Women that I will be speaking about in February 2013, Black History Month.

Abolitionis John Brown.

John Brown May 1800-December 1859.

This man through his action at the federal Armory at Harpers Ferry virginia electrified the North and help push America into War.Browns goal was to break into the Federal Armory and steal guns, to arm Slaves to fight aganist Slave owners.

However he was captured and hanged on December 2 1859. Somehow I do not believe New years eve 1859 was as happy as New Years eve 1854 was for the South. December 1859 the winds of change was now blowing in America, and the Black Slave was center stage.

1860 would start a new America.

The 1856 Presidential Election.

The election was quite heated, The Democrats elected James Buchanan, the Republicans elected John C Fremont, and Know Nothing party elected incumbent President Franklin Pierce.

The Republican party condemned the Kansas-Nebraska Act, and crusaded against the expansion of Slavery. James Buchanan warned that the Republicans were extremists whose victory would lead to Civil War. The Know Nothing party tried to ignor Slavery. Fillmore receved a little over a fifth of the vote. Fremont receved 114 Electoral votes. Buchanan receved 174 Electoral votes. The results in the election indicated that the Republican party were close and with a few more States would win the next election. The Republican party after the 1856 election became a major alternative to the Democratics. Also for the first time in American history a top Presidential party was oposed to Slavery. After the 1856 election America was now on the doorstep of Civil War. In my next Blog I will Blog on two men who kick the door down and put America into War.

As I close this Blog, let me say February is Black History Month. As a Black American Vet who is trying to tell the truth about American History, I would say that Black American History and American History are the Same.

The Black Slave Built America and their story needs to be told. Their story cannot be put into 28 days.
