The Second Great Awakening transformed American society in the period 1800-1840 by promoting religious revival and providing a framework for mass participation in religious activities. This religious fervor led to the creation of new religious denominations, such as the Mormons and Seventh-day Adventists, and the expansion of existing ones, such as the Methodists and Baptists. As a result, religious participation became more democratic and less tied to traditional hierarchies, giving rise to the so-called “camp meeting revivals”, where people gathered in large numbers, often in tents or outdoors, to hear sermons and religious speeches. The Second Great Awakening also led to the formation of various religious organizations and societies that sought to promote moral reform and social justice, such as the American Temperance Society and the American Colonization Society. As a result, this religious movement helped to shape the moral and social landscape of the period, influencing issues such as slavery, women's rights, and education.
