Answer:
The Second Great Awakening was a time of unusual Christian revival that would extend from the 1790s to the 1840s, that is, the American antebellum period, characterized by unprecedented Christian evangelizing activity and large conversion figures. Its name is due to the Great Awakening, a similar period that had taken place about half a century before. It produced a deep feeling in churches and congregations throughout New England, the Mid-Atlantic, the Northwest and the South of the United States. The identification of evangelization with social causes was intensified, which affected American life in areas such as the reform of prisons, abolitionism and the promotion of abstinence. As a result, new Christian movements, such as Mormonism and Adventism, emerged in the United States.
