How did Sojourner Truth win her son back?

Sojourner Truth never won back her son. In 1826, she sued for the return of her son Peter, whom she had been forced to leave behind in New York when she escaped from slavery with her infant daughter Sophia in 1826. The judge decided in favor of Peter's enslaver despite Truth's impassioned speech. This decision fueled Truth's lifelong anger about the injustices slaves endured.
