The Second Great Awakening, which peaked in the early 19th century, gradually diminished in intensity by the 1840s as social reform movements, such as abolitionism and women's rights, gained prominence.

By the late 19th century, the fervor of the awakening had largely subsided, transitioning into a more organized and institutional form of religious expression.
