Question

What happened as a result of the Second Great Awakening?

Answer 1

Answer:

The Second Great Awakening helped increase the number of people attending church and following Christian beliefs. It greatly saw a rapid rise in church attendance and helped make 'the soul-searching' a successful ministry.

Explanation:

The Second Great Awakening was a religious revival especially among the American Protestant Christians in the early 19th century. This revival focused on winning souls and helping others 'see the light' ad turn away from their sinful ways.

As the desire to 'purge' the nation of sinners rose, the desire to help reform the whole of the American nation grew. This need to bring the "good news" to everyone before they fall into the hands of eternal dam nation led to the many believers to try to win souls back into the arms of the loving god. This movement succeeded greatly and the number of believers rose, with the church attendance increasing rapidly and brought about many reforms including the emancipation of women in the society.
