The Second Great Awakening attracted hundreds of converts to new Protestant denominations thus led to a period of antebellum social reforms and emphasis on salvation by institutions. The awakening enrolled millions of new members leading to the formation of new denominations. The awakening was a reaction against deism, skepticism, and rational Christianity through evangelism.
