THE SECOND GREAT AWAKENING:
The Second Great Awakening was significant to abolition because it was the revival of religion. The Second Great Awakening stressed morals and doing God’s will. The Second Great Awakening made people believe that slavery was a sin, which made more people became abolitionists and strive to abolish slavery. Many abolitionist leaders such as Theodore D. Weld, William Lloyd Garrison, and Elizur Wright, Jr. were influenced by preachers of the Second Great Awakening and strove for "immediate emancipation" of slaves.
