The social activism of the Second Great Awakening

Answer
A
gave rise to the antislavery and temperance movements.
B
led to the Catholic Pope bringing together the Second Vatican Council.
C
led to a decrease in church attendance.
D
contributed to the American independence movement.

Explanation

The Second Great Awakening was a Protestant religious revival in the early 19th century that encouraged people to improve society and address moral problems. This spirit of reform helped inspire antislavery and temperance activism, so choice A is correct. The Second Vatican Council took place much later, and the American independence movement happened before the Second Great Awakening.
