Sojourner was sold in total 3 times, the last time to man named Mr. Dumont. When there he said that if she was a hard worker he would release her free a year before the law would set her free. This motivated her to work very hard, only taking little naps and not sleeping properly for days. When Mr. Dumont did not keep his promise, she ran away (with only 1 of her 5 children) to a person who legally bought her from Mr. Dumont and then later set her free.
Sold! To Mr. Dumont!
