Answer: d. Periodic bursts of religious reform and revivalism
Step-by-step explanation:
The question requires identifying which continuities in U.S. history are reflected in the excerpt from Lyman Beecher´s Six Sermons on the Nature, Occasions, Signs, Evils, and Remedy of Intemperance (1829).
Beecher´s sermons on the nature and dangers of intemperance were delivered in the context of the Second Great Awakening, the Protestant religious revival that occurred in the United States in the early 19th century, and is one example of the periodic bursts of religious reform and revivalism. It´s important to remember that American Christian history has gone through four Great Awakenings: the first one in the 1730s, the Second beginning in the 1790s, the third Awakening starting in the 1850s, and the fourth one in the 1970s.
