Sixty delegates from New England, Pennsylvania, Ohio, New York, and New Jersey convened a National Anti-Slavery Convention in Philadelphia between December 4 and 6, 1833.
A convention of abolitionists was called for December 4, 1833, at the Adelphi Building in Philadelphia, which served as the announced meeting site for that date. Between December 4 and 6, sixty delegates from New England, Pennsylvania, Ohio, New York, and New Jersey convened a National Anti-Slavery Convention in Philadelphia. Only white women were invited to the original 1833 gathering, and even they were not allowed to participate in an active role; Lucretia Mott, Lydia White, Esther Moore, and Sidney Ann Lewis attended on December 4 but none could sign the Constitution that day.
