Hello! Thanks for your help, Ms. Sue and Reed. I believe the answer is a, but I'm not sure. Is this correct?
To determine the correct answer to this question, we need to compare the Second Great Awakening with the First Great Awakening and identify the ways in which they differed. Let's analyze each answer choice:
a. It was the product of both trained and untrained ministers.
The First Great Awakening was mainly led by evangelical ministers who had received formal training. However, the Second Great Awakening witnessed an expansion of religious enthusiasm, with both trained ministers and untrained individuals playing significant roles in promoting its message. Therefore, this statement is true and not an exception.
b. Its message spawned many reform movements.
Both the First and Second Great Awakenings were associated with various social and reform movements that aimed to address societal issues through religious teachings. Therefore, this statement is true and not an exception.
c. Its message was hidden from slave populations.
During the Second Great Awakening, there was a strong emphasis on missionary work, including efforts to convert enslaved African Americans. While it is true that the message may not have reached all slave populations due to various barriers, including legal restrictions and linguistic differences, it would be incorrect to say that the message was hidden from slave populations. Therefore, this statement is not a difference between the First and Second Great Awakenings.
d. It was more widespread, penetrating deeper into the south and west.
One significant difference between the First and Second Great Awakenings was the geographic reach of the movements. The First Great Awakening primarily occurred in the northern colonies and had less impact in the southern states. In contrast, the Second Great Awakening had a broader reach and penetrated deeper into the southern and western regions of the United States. Therefore, this statement is true and represents a difference between the two awakenings.
Based on our analysis, the correct answer should be:
c. Its message was hidden from slave populations.
This statement is not accurate as the Second Great Awakening did not entirely hide its message from slave populations.
