Question

As it democratized American Christianity, the Second Great Awakening both took advantage of the market revolution and criticized its excesses. Explain

Answer 1

Answer:

American Christianity took advantage of the market revolution by using it to share the Gospel

took advantage of the market revolution because when the idea of individualism spread, the religious people when seeking for people that wanted to be independent , they manipulated them by saying that being independent also meant being religious .

Several people began to go to church more often because they wanted to seek for help (God) and because they wanted for their sins to be pardoned ,

Since public schools were being funded by the government, the religious people demanded for religious education

in stressing the importance of industry, sobriety, and self-discipline, preachers promoted the qualities necessary for success in a market culture

however, the 2nd great awakening was based on individualism, but the market revolution benefited the people as a whole but not the individual
