2 The Second Great Awakening Broad Religious Movement Sweeps the United States Post 1790 Common Beliefs Rejected Predestination Anyone can achieve salvation Emphasized Personal Responsibility People can improve Change in Worship Services Emphasis on evangelism Large gatherings (20,000) Preachers very dramatic & emotional Listeners shrieked moaned & fainted

3 Religion & Reform The convert s duty was to spread the word about personal salvation to others. This religious activism or evangelism was part of an overall era of reform that started in the 1830s. Reforms of the period included women s rights, school reform, and abolition (the movement to outlaw slavery). All of these movements emerged as responses to rapid changes in American society such as early industrial growth, increasing migration and immigration, and new means of communication. ~The Americans, page 240.

10 Shaker Communities Non-religious Utopian Community Founded by Ann Lee, New York & new England Beliefs Pacifists Shared goods Equality of men & women Vowed not to marry or have children Rely on converts Population 6,000 in 1840s Only 7 in 1999

11 Schools and Prisons Undergo Reform By the mid-19 th century, thousands of Americans holding a variety of philosophical positions had joined together to fight the various social ills that troubled the young nation. Some social reformers focused their attention on schools and other institutions. ~The Americans, page 244.

12 Reforming Asylums and Prisons American prisons in 1831 Prisoners physically punished Isolated for long periods of time Focus on punishment, not reform Dorothea Dix Horrified because jails housed the mentally ill Sends law to MA legislature Nine Southern States set up hospitals for mentally ill Goal of rehabilitation
