- [Instructor] Okay, so
we've been talking about

The Second Great Awakening and its context

The Second Great Awakening was this period

of this society that produced
The Second Great Awakening,

particularly how they responded to changes

in how people related to
each other in business

and the expansion of
American territory west.

So in this last video,
I want to talk about

some of the outgrowths of
The Second Great Awakening.

there was this period
of religious revival?

There are two major things
that were directly related

to The Second Great Awakening
in this early 19th century.

New religious movements
in the United States,

and even more importantly
for the time period,

the Movement for Abolition,
the end of slavery,

which is going to lead to the
outbreak of The Civil War.

So let's look a little bit
closer at these two things.

So as we've talked about,
The Second Great Awakening

promoted both the idea that one should try

and also, a more democratic
approach to religion in general,

If you were a man, a woman,
white, black, enslaved, free,

you were still entitled to a
personal relationship with God

So one of the things this
meant in this time period

is that there's just a lot
of religious experimentation.

A lot of new American religions
emerge at this time period,

This here is a representation
of the Shakers,

Just as kind of trying to make
their daily lives more pure

meant that they more or
less died out by the 1940s,

in this process of
these big circle dances,

which was led by a man
named John Humphrey Noyes

one should have no earthly
attachments basically

so they believed in what
was called complex marriage

There was no such thing
as an individual marriage,

were very central to
these religious movements.

Probably the most important
religious movement

was the Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter-Day Saints,

who were founded by Joseph
Smith in Rochester, New York

and Smith had a vision that
he was visited by an angel

and on these gold plates
was a new Scripture

and Smith's followers
really continued to be

particularly over their
early practice of polygamy

under the leadership of a
second man, Brigham Young,

one of the ways that they
made money as a community

was by making silverware
and so Oneida Silverware
