3. A Religious Awakening Sec 1: A Religious Awakening The Second Great Awakening Changes America Main Idea: In the early 1800s, some Protestant preachers believed that Americans had become immoral and religious participation was crucial to the country’s future. This led to the Second Great Awakening, which lasted for nearly half the century. Non-Protestants Suffer Discrimination Main Idea: The preachers of the Second Great Awakening were Protestant. By the mid- 1800s, well over half of all Americans were also Protestant. Non-Protestants were in the distinct minority and faced discrimination. Utopias and Transcendentalism Main Idea: In the early 1800s, many Americans turned to Protestant churches, while some formed new religious groups. Still others, including the Utopians, Shakers, and Transcendentalists, sought different routes to try to fashion a more perfect society.

11. A Reforming Society Sec 2: A Reforming Society Reforming Education Main Idea: Other reforms in the Second Great Awakening were in the field of education, including the public school movement. This was an argument to establish tax-supported public schools. Helping the Ill and Imprisoned Main Idea: Americans who had little or no voice in how they were treated were of special concern to many reformers. That was one reason why many reformers worked tirelessly to help Americans who were imprisoned or mentally ill. The Temperance Movement Main Idea: Many reformers blamed alcohol abuse for the industrial era’s problems. As a result, reformers launched the temperance movement, an organized effort to end alcohol abuse and its associated problems.

15. The Antislavery Movement Sec 3: The Antislavery Movement Life Under Slavery Main Idea: Slaves, who numbered about 2 million by 1830, struggled in their lives of captivity, knowing that they were at the mercy of slaveholders. The Lives of Free Blacks Main Idea: Despite their freedom, free blacks suffered from persistent racial discrimination. The Fight Against Slavery Main Idea: By 1804, all states north of Maryland had passed legislation to end slavery. In 1807, bringing new slaves to any part of the United States from Africa was banned. Still, slavery was an established institution in the South, where slaves played an important role in the economy. Working Against Abolition Main Idea: Despite the growing call of abolitionists, most Americans continued to support slavery. The voices against abolition came from both the slave states of the South and the free states of the North. Witness History: The Evils of Slavery Note Taking: Reading Skill: Summarize Continued…

22. The Women’s Movement Sec 4: The Women’s Movement Women Work for Change Main Idea: In the 1800s, American women’s freedoms and rights were sharply limited. Their idealized domestic existence was too limiting for many women. Largely as a result of the Second Great Awakening, women of the early 1800s began to take on more active roles in public life. Women Begin the Fight for Rights Main Idea: Real progress in women’s rights began in the 1830s when many urban middle-class northern women began to hire poor women to do their housework and had more time to think about the society in which they wanted to raise their children. At this same time, women began to see their own social restrictions as being comparable to slavery and began to work for rights. Women Convene in Seneca Falls Main Idea: The 1848 Seneca Falls Convention attracted hundreds of men and women, including Frederick Douglass. The convention resulted in few concrete improvements in women’s rights. It did, however, mark the beginning of the women’s movement in the United States.
