<span>The Great Awakening is a period of religious awakening and reform that began in the 1800s. It was a spiritual renewal that swept the American Colonies, particularly New England. It sought to use the basis of religion to revive faith in members of the congregation and bring about social reforms. Its main ideas include: · The belief that every person could be saved through revivals · The belief that Christ would return to earth after the "millennium" and the purification of society in preparation for that return.</span>

Main ideas of the Second Great Awakening were:

  • The need for individuals to make a personal decision to follow Christ.
  • An emphasis on preparing for the imminent Second Coming of Christ and the judgment of mankind.
  • An emphasis on personal Bible reading and study of Christian truth.

Further details:

In the history of religious life in America, we refer to "the Second Great Awakening" when talking about the revival of energy in Protestantism that began as the year 1800 approached and continued into the 1820s. (The First Great Awakening had occurred some decades earlier, in the 1730s and 1740s.) The Second Great Awakening focused on each individual sinner coming to grips with their own unworthy condition before God and making a decision to give their lives over to the Lord in the name of Jesus Christ. They needed to be "born again," to experience personally a change of heart and move in the direction of Christ. This was needed to prepare for the Second Coming of Christ at the end of time.  The emphasis on personal salvation was a rejection of older Protestant concepts of predestination (the original Calvinist model). It also coincided with the mood in the country at the time that emphasized individualism and personal responsibility.

Along with outdoor revival meetings that were part of the Second Great Awakening, there was an emphasis on personal Bible reading and study. The American Bible Society was founded in 1816 as part of this movement, to make sure every Christian home had a Bible for reading and studying at home.  The American Tract Society was also established (1826) to distribute Christian literature that would teach Christian truths.

Why did Truman want to stop MacArthur from going into North Korea
Alex

On 11 April 1951, U.S. President Harry S. Truman relieved General of the Army Douglas MacArthur of his commands after MacArthur made public statements which contradicted the administration's policies. MacArthur was a popular hero of World War II who was then the commander of United Nations forces fighting in the Korean War, and his relief remains a controversial topic in the field of civil-military relations.

MacArthur led the Allied forces in the Southwest Pacific during World War II, and after the war was in charge of the occupation of Japan. When North Korea invaded South Korea in June 1950, starting the Korean War, he was designated commander of the United Nations forces defending South Korea. He conceived and executed the amphibious assault at Inchon on 15 September 1950, for which he was hailed as a military genius. However, when he followed up his victory with a full-scale invasion of North Korea on Truman's orders, China intervened in the war and inflicted a series of defeats, compelling him to withdraw from North Korea. By April 1951, the military situation had stabilized, but MacArthur's public statements became increasingly irritating to Truman, and he relieved MacArthur of his commands. The Senate Armed Services Committee and the Senate Foreign Relations Committee held a joint inquiry into the military situation and the circumstances surrounding MacArthur's relief, and concluded that "the removal of General MacArthur was within the constitutional powers of the President but the circumstances were a shock to national pride."[1]

An apolitical military was an American tradition, but one that was difficult to uphold in an era when American forces were employed overseas in large numbers. The principle of civilian control of the military was also ingrained, but the rising complexity of military technology led to the creation of a professional military. This made civilian control increasingly problematic when coupled with the constitutional division of powers between the President as commander-in-chief, and the Congress with its power to raise armies, maintain a navy, and wage wars. In relieving MacArthur for failing to "respect the authority of the President" by privately communicating with Congress, Truman upheld the President's role as pre-eminent.
