1800-1830 Revival in Connecticut: The Second Great Awakening
The lives of these four Connecticut natives were profoundly affected by the religious movement known as the Second Great Awakening. Though this revival began as a clarion call to holiness it also produced the great social movements of the 19th century including the Temperance movement, the Women’s movement and the Abolition movement.
