4. Questions to Consider
What impact did the Second Great Awakening have on attitudes toward slavery? How did this religious awakening lead to a great call for abolishing slavery?
What role did women play in the social reform movements of the Second Industrial Revolution? How did their participation in activism open up a dialogue about gender and race in the North? To what extent were the fates of white women and African-Americans connected?
