How did religion influence reform movements?
What will be an ideal response?
During the Second Great Awakening, an emotional style of evangelical Protestantism arose, which encouraged individual improvement and success through hard work and moral choices. These values aligned with the market revolution, encouraging people to embrace change and reform to usher in the new millennium and aim for individual perfection. The temperance movement was closely tied to these ideas.
In contrast to Calvinism—a pervasive doctrine of the period that held that individual salvation was predestined and could not be achieved through one's own actions—religious leaders such as Charles Grandison Finney preached that individuals and communities could achieve their own salvation and success for themselves, their communities, and the nation.
