What were the main ideas of the second great awakening?

The Great Awakening is a period of religious awakening and reform that began in the 1800s. It was a spiritual renewal that swept the American Colonies, particularly New England. It sought to use the basis of religion to revive faith in members of the congregation and bring about social reforms. Its main ideas include: · The belief that every person could be saved through revivals · The belief that Christ would return to earth after the "millennium" and the purification of society in preparation for that return.
