what did the second great awakening and the abolition movement have in common?
a both relied on new technologies
b both relied on religious belief
c both relied on cash crops
d both relied on new immigrants
The correct answer is (b) both relied on religious belief.
Both the Second Great Awakening and the abolition movement were deeply rooted in religious beliefs. The Second Great Awakening was a religious revival movement that swept through the United States during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. It emphasized the individual's responsibility for their own salvation and encouraged personal spiritual experiences. This religious fervor played a significant role in shaping social and political movements of the time, including the abolition movement.
The abolition movement, on the other hand, aimed to end the institution of slavery in the United States. Many abolitionists believed that slavery was a sin and contradicted their religious values. They drew upon religious texts and moral arguments to advocate for the emancipation of slaves and the end of the oppressive system.
Thus, both the Second Great Awakening and the abolition movement shared a reliance on religious belief as a driving force behind their goals and actions.
