About this episode
Religion has been intertwined in American history since its founding. There have been several religious revivals aimed at increasing church membership and devotion to God.
The Second Great Awakening was one of the largest and most consequential religious movements in American history. It was during this movement that revivalism and social activism became part of the religious experience.
Join me as I dive into what the Second Great Awakening was and just how it impacted the country.
