Answer 1

The correct answer is A) the Second Great Awakening.

What helped spark a major abolitionist movement in the 1820s was the Second Great Awakening.

The beginning of the 1800s represented a moment in the history of the United States where the Protestant religious movement lived a moment of expansion that some historians called "revival." It was the Second Great Awakening that started approximately in 1790 and ended in 1840. Let's remember that the First Great Awakening had been from 1730 to 1755. During the Second Great Awakening, led by Methodists and Baptists preachers, supported reformation movements such as the abolitionist movement that demanded the end of slavery.
