The "Second Great Awakening" occurred from 1795 to 1835. It was a revival movement conducted by the Protestants. This fostered the<em> Arminian belief </em>that<u> humans (sinners) have the ability to save themselves from d.amnation </u>through: <u>revivals, repentance and conversion</u>. This increased the number of members in different churches. The movement was meant to change the society in preparation for the coming of Jesus Christ.
