Answer 1

Answer:

Correct Answer:

4) Americans believed they had a religious purpose to spread over the entire continent.

Explanation:

The Second Great Awakening was a Protestant religious revival during the early 19th century which spread throughout the United States. The revival began in early 1800's among the Presbyterians, Methodists and Baptists. This brought comfort in the face of uncertainty as a result of the socio-political changes in America.

Also, New religious movements emerged during the Second Great Awakening, such as Adventism, Dispensationalism, and the Latter Day Saint movement which spread from America to other parts of the world.
