the evangelical religion which spread after the second great awakening?
the baptists and methodists
the supporters of the awakening and its evangelical thrust—presbyterians, baptists and methodists—became the largest american protestant denominations by the first decades of the 19th century. opponents of the awakening or those split by it—anglicans, quakers, and congregationalists—were left behind.









































unlike the second great awakening that began about 1800 and which reached out to the unchurched, the first great awakening focused on people who were already church members. it changed their rituals, their piety, and their self-awareness.

history of religion in the united states
evangelicalism has played an important role in shaping american religion and culture. the first great awakening of the 18th century marked the rise of evangelical religion in colonial america. as the revival spread throughout the thirteen colonies, evangelicalism united americans around a common faith. the second great awakening of the 19th century led to what historian martin marty called the "evangelical empire", a period in which evangelicals dominated us cultural institutions, including schools and universities. some evangelicals were strong advocates of reform, largely in the northern united states. they were involved in the temperance movement and supported the abolition of slavery in addition to working towards education and criminal justice reform. many evangelical denominations split over slavery, with evangelicals in the southern united states establishing new branches that did not formally or openly call for abolition of slavery. (for example, the southern baptist convention was founded over the issue of slaveholders serving as foreign missionaries.)
