Question

Which organization is an example of the second Great Awakening's influence on society?

Answer 1

"American Society for the Promotion of Temperance" is an example of the second Great Awakening's influence on society, since it was mainly against drinking distilled and alcoholic drinks.

Answer 2

The correct option is A

The slogan was to regulate the free consumption of alcohol. He was blamed for various social ills. From the beginning of the 19th century in the United States of America there was the Movement for Temperance, also known as Temperance, which was first understood as moderation in drinking and eating, and later as a total prohibition of consuming alcohol. Finally, it became a condemnation of everything related to it, especially the sector that produced and marketed it.

From 1850, the increase of the immigration in the United States contacted its religious leaders with important masses of foreign emigrants who were not in agreement with the restriction of the liquor consumption. Germans, Irish and citizens coming from Eastern Europe brought to America their own daily habits more tolerant with the consumption of alcohol. Meanwhile, the most conservative preachers, basically Anglo-Saxons, persistently bet that the newcomers adopt a position contrary to the free consumption of liquor.
