Answer:

B.  As a former African American slave, she worked to ensure freedom for others.

Explanation:

Sojourner Truth was a slave ever since she's born,  since both of her parents were slaves for a white owner in Swartekill. But,  She and  her infant daughter managed to escape in 1826 and gained her freedom.

After her escape, she was known for her activism on women's right and abolitionist movement.

She let the public know the cruel treatments that most slaves experience in confederate states which eventually gained public support to push the federal government to take action. This led to the civil war.
