The Second Great Awakening was a religious revival movement that swept America from the 1800’s to 1840’s. Aside from the religious aspect, the Second Great Awakening also sparked many social movements that revolutionized America, like the temperance movement, and abolitionism. It will be up to you and your group to create a virtual 3-D book that narrates the events that caused the Second Great Awakening and its effects on America’s social and political systems.

1. 
   What was happening in America at the time of the Second Great Awakening?
   
2. 
   During what years did the Second Great Awakening emerge?
   
3.
