Annotations
<p>Sojourner Truth, an abolitionist and former slave, is writing from Mason's Island, Virginia to her daughter, Diana. Reverend D.B. Nichols served as the Superintendent of Freedmen during the Civil War and was strategic in organizing a refugee camp on Mason’s Island. The government funded these camps and supported slaves fleeing to the North during the Civil War. The Freedmen Aid Society was one of the many organizations that assisted refugees to transition from slavery to freedom during the Civil War. Truth refers to meeting President Abraham Lincoln. Sammie was Truth's grandson. Lucy Coleman was a fellow abolitionist and woman's rights activist.</p>
