Caption: Charles Stuart, shown in a detail from Benjamin Robert Haydon's depiction of the 1840 Anti-Slavery Convention in London. He is the man in the middle here. For someone so important in the Abolitionist movement in both England and the United States, it is odd that there is no better portrait of him. Stuart was a particularly important supporter of Crandall and the Canterbury Female Academy. However, he later proved himself to be hostile to women's equal participation. Thus he was among the bulk of the delegates at this major International Anti-Slavery convention who refused the seating of the women delegates from the United States. This was the conference where Elizabeth Cady Stanton met Lucretia Mott.
