B is correct.

Thank you kind Sir,

To determine the correct answer to the question, let's first understand the First and Second Great Awakenings and their impact on American society.

The First Great Awakening was a religious revival movement that occurred in the 18th century, primarily in the New England colonies. It emphasized individual spiritual experiences, religious freedom, and personal salvation. It had a significant impact on American society, as it challenged traditional religious authority and hierarchical structures. It also fueled the growth of evangelicalism in America.

The Second Great Awakening took place in the early 19th century and differed from the first in several ways. It spread across a wider geographic area, including not only New England but also the Midwest and the South. Its focus shifted beyond individual salvation to reforming society at large. The movement encouraged social activism, such as temperance, abolitionism, and the women's rights movement. It also led to the founding of new religious denominations and increased religious diversity.

Now, let's analyze the options provided:

A) "Was more widespread but less significant for American society."
This option suggests that the Second Great Awakening was more widespread than the first but had less impact on American society. However, this is incorrect, as the Second Great Awakening had a profound and lasting effect on American society, with its influence felt in various social reform movements.

B) "Was more widespread & had greater effects on American society."
This option suggests that the Second Great Awakening was more widespread and had greater effects on American society. Based on the explanation given earlier, this is the correct answer.

C) "Was mostly a Southern event & had greater effects on American society."
This option incorrectly suggests that the Second Great Awakening was mostly a Southern event, which is not accurate. While it did reach the South, it also had a significant impact in other regions of the country.

D) "Was mostly a western event & had greater effects on American society."
This option incorrectly suggests that the Second Great Awakening was mostly a western event, which is also not accurate. While it did spread to the Midwest and the Western frontier, it had a broader reach beyond these regions.

Therefore, the correct answer is B) "Was more widespread & had greater effects on American society."
