Second Great Awakening Background Second Great Awakening Impacts

Second Great Awakening Background Many Americans attended churches infrequently They did not like the restrictive nature of many churches However the vast majority of Americans WERE still Christians

Second Great Awakening Background Starting in the early 1800’s there was a large number of religious revival movements which were part of the Second Great Awakening(SGA) Revival movements happened nationwide, but started in the frontier states Especially Kentucky Many of these revivals preached for a return to more basic versions of Christianity Many would also began focusing on fixing social issues as well

Second Great Awakening Background This series of revivals is remembered as the Second Great Awakening The Second Great Awakening is characterized by massive meetings and conversions of people called revivals Many of the preachers were animated and encouraged crowd reaction/participation

Second Great Awakening Massive meeting were called Camp Meeting Often these camps would form into temporary towns

Quote from an attendee of the Cane Ridge, Kentucky revival meeting “The noise was like the roar of Niagara. The vast sea of human beings seemed to be agitated as if by a storm. I counted seven ministers, all preaching at one time, some on stumps, others on wagons ... Some of the people were singing, others praying, some crying for mercy. A peculiarly strange sensation came over me. My heart beat tumultuously, my knees trembled, my lips quivered, and I felt as though I must fall to the ground.”

Second Great Awakening Western/Central N.Y. became known was the “Burned Over District” because of the success of the SGA A majorly successful preacher created the term by claiming there was no "fuel" (unconverted population) left over to "burn" (convert)

Major Leaders Charles Finney John Wesley (founder of the Methodist) Lyman Beecher Father of Harriet Beecher Stowe

Second Great Awakening One major church the developed out of the Burned Over District was Joseph Smith’s Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints(Mormons) After meeting resistance in multiple different locations the Mormons eventually settled in then Mexican controlled Utah

Second Great Awakening Background The new evangelical movement placed greater emphasis on humans' ability to change their situation for the better Many of the movements resisted the idea that salvation could only be gained from dependency and loyalty to a church

Second Great Awakening Background Movement preached salvation was open to all human beings Embraced a more optimistic view of the human condition

Second Great Awakening Impacts Religious movements taught that simply avoiding sins was not enough for salvation Good Christians began to be expected to help improve the world around them and the state of people they encountered Led to an age of reform movements in education, mental health, alcohol, women’s rights, abolition, ect

Second Great Awakening Impacts Many of the revival movements of the SGA encouraged active and visible female participation Many black American were encouraged to begin seeking equality because of the SGA This is a drastically departure from U.S. society at the time

Second Great Awakening The revivalists generally did not challenge slavery, but they preached to everyone, regardless of race Slave owners initially resisted evangelicals preaching to their bondpeople A few slave owners came to consider it their Christian duty to teach their slaves about the Bible.

Second Great Awakening Impacts Black ministers preached against slavery at their churches based on messages of equality in the Bible/Christian Teachings Declared slavery a sin against god Warned that any nation that condoned slavery would suffer divine punishment Churches became major meeting places for both enslaved and free Blacks

Second Great Awakening Impacts Black churches were heavily involved in the Abolition movement Published narratives/newspapers, hosted speakers, and eventually supported Underground Railroad
