anti-slavery conventions

Anti-slavery conventions were gatherings where individuals and groups aimed to discuss and promote the abolition of slavery. These events, prominent in the 19th century, brought together abolitionists to share ideas, strategies, and mobilize public opinion against the institution of slavery. They often featured speeches, debates, and the distribution of literature advocating for freedom and equal rights. Notable conventions included the Seneca Falls Convention in 1848, which also linked women's rights with the fight against slavery. These conventions played a crucial role in raising awareness and fostering activism, contributing to the eventual abolition of slavery in many regions.
