What was the second great awakening and when did it occur?

The Second Great Awakening was a religious revival movement in the United States that occurred roughly between the late 18th century and the mid-19th century, with its peak in the 1820s and 1830s. It emphasized individual piety, personal salvation, and a democratic approach to religion, leading to the growth of various Protestant denominations. This movement also spurred social reforms, including abolitionism and women's rights, as participants sought to apply their religious convictions to societal issues. It played a significant role in shaping American religious and cultural life during that era.
