Sojourner Truth and Harriet Tubman both exemplified the resolve of those who escaped slavery. Truth emphasized her moral choice in escaping, while Tubman's journey involved great peril, including threats from slave catchers and challenging natural barriers. Tubman, driven by her desire for liberty, famously declared, "Death or Liberty," reflecting the profound determination of those who risked everything for freedom. Their stories highlight the physical and psychological challenges faced by escaped slaves and their unwavering pursuit of emancipation.
