The Second Great Awakening was a religious revival movement in the United States during the early 19th century, roughly from the 1790s to the 1840s. It emphasized personal faith, emotional experiences, and the importance of individual salvation. This movement led to the growth of various denominations, including the Methodists and Baptists, and encouraged a more democratic approach to religion. The revival meetings often featured passionate preaching and were held in outdoor settings, known as camp meetings. The Second Great Awakening also inspired social reform movements, such as abolitionism and women's rights, as participants sought to improve society in line with their religious beliefs.
