Hello Michael,
Excellent post this week! Very well informed with a lot of solid points. It is a shame that southerners had to find justifications for their wicked actions regarding slavery. Interestingly enough, religion is always brought up and was a focal part of both Great Awakenings. The cruelest point unfortunately was southerners trying to reason that being a slave in the south was a
much better quality of life than being back on their homeland. Do you think slavery was keeping the economy in the south strong, or do you think slave owners did not want to lose the high class lives they lived?

Jaden Lawton
Hello Jaden,
Excellent work this week. It truly took the bravery and hard work of a few great women in history to bring about change for women all around the country. Those strong women selflessly sought out ways to bring equality to all women. The second Great Awakening was a great period
of time when women began to question their roles in society. They wanted to do more than just uphold the home and raise children. Women wanted to be able to vote, work, and contribute to the overall growth of the country. What do you think was that key movement of the suffrage movement? How many of the issues back then do we still see today?

Lucy Brown
Hello Lucy, Incredibly intriguing post this week. I also chose to discuss the religious revivalism that occurred
during the second Great Awakening. I found the revivalism to be very interesting because religion seems to always be greatly stressed in most of the readings, but there was a period when people weren’t attending church gathering as frequently anymore. What could be the reasoning for the need for a revival of religion? Did the creation of new religious sects help the revival or was it just a product of the movement? For me, I truly believe with the rapid growth of the country caused religion to fall to the way side so the common man can grow economically. A very interesting time with many huge movements beginning to take shape.

what was the major cause of the Second Great Awakening? When and why did it end?
Dr. Mikolashek
In the late 18
th
century, the American government decided that they were no longer going to support churches with state funding. In addition, the rise of industrialization gave people a belief that success and failures were their fault. People now believing that their lives were in their hands and not some benevolent beings. They were no longer relying on God for their salvation but instead used their faith to solely ask for forgiveness. Now that God no longer held such an importance in the success of their lives, the American people’s attendance in church began to decline.
By the 1850’s the Second Great Awakening has run its course. It produced many social reforms like the suffrage movements and a push to end slavery. One of the reasons this wave of awakenings ended was, when Charles Finney began to preach radical doctrine to spread his new measures for Evangelism. The other reason being the rise of many Antebellum Communal Experiments. These experiments began to preach for utopian communities. Not all the utopian communities were prompted by the religions of the Second Great Awakening.
