Answer 1

Answer: B) Due to the moral arguments against slavery, abolition became a religious issue

Step-by-step explanation:

The Second Great Awakening saw Protestant churches in particular, the Baptists and the Methodists, lead many changes in the Church in the way religious and moral creed were carried out by the Church.

They went against slavery as well and ruled it ungodly and preached to both enslaved and free people alike with some African Americans founding churches and becoming preachers in them. This led to slavery being a moral issue as well as it was argued to be immoral and unjust.
