- During the Second Great Awakening (1790s-1840s), a wide spread Christian movement, many began to become more devoted to the religion.
- Within the movement, many participants felt slavery contradicted their faith. Yet, others in the faith argued slavery did not do this.
Christianity and Abolitionism
- Unitarians and Transcendentalists began to spread their ideas in this era.
- Leaders, such as Ralph Waldo Emerson, taught that, according to transcendentalism, truth could be gained by observing nature and emotion.
