These women realized the bitter sufferings of all Black Americans, either enslaved or free, who had been oppressed and separated by the white men for a long period. Experiences and environmental conditions of several African American women helped to inspire their ideology and aims to fight for liberty and equality. Their tasks helped to free a lot of black slaves, exacerbated conflict between the North and the South on slavery issue in American society and motivated American society to realize the value of freedom, liberty and equality of human beings of all colors.
