Zorluk: OrtaThe Second Great Awakening and Social Reform

"The history of the past year teaches us that God is blessing the voluntary associations of our land. The temperance reform has made rapid progress; the Sabbath is more widely respected; and the campaigns against vice and ignorance are gaining ground. These moral enterprises are the natural fruits of those revivals of religion which have refreshed our churches, showing that when the Holy Spirit renews the heart of man, it leads him to seek the moral improvement of his community."

— Report of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in the United States, 1835

  3. C
    Supreme Court decisions under John Marshall that actively dismantled state-chartered religious institutions.
  4. D
    A widespread working-class rejection of the market economy in favor of communal, non-commercial farming networks.

Cevap

The rapid economic changes and social dislocations of the Market Revolution, which motivated reformers to establish moral stability and order.
The correct answer is correct because the Market Revolution transformed the American economy, shifting production away from homes to factories and creating new social dynamics and anxieties. Middle-class Americans, particularly in areas heavily impacted by these economic changes (like the Burned-over District), turned to the religious revivals of the Second Great Awakening. They believed that individual spiritual rebirth should lead to the moral improvement of society, driving the creation of voluntary organizations dedicated to temperance, education, and moral reform.
