PROTESTANT CHRISTIANITY AS A SOCIAL FORCE
***Students should be able to describe how new religious ideas challenged Britain's traditional imperial systems***
2. A Republican Religious Order (CUL)
*Religious Freedom / established church
*Church State relations / volunarism
J52 / A: The main principles of the new republican religious regime included democracy; spiritual equality between white men, black men, and all women; free will; social reform; and an increase in female participation through benevolent societies.
*Republican Church Institutions / unchurched
CONTEXTUALIZATION: Use the section on Church-State Relations to discuss the First Amendment and the historical context for the relationship between church and state. Rather than completely separating church and state, as is commonly believed, the founding fathers sought to prevent established (tax-supported) churches but nonetheless largely sought to keep religion within the public sphere.

4. Religions and Reform (CUL)
*J53 / A: Evangelical Baptists and Methodists developed an egalitarian religious culture marked by communal singing and emotional services. Evangelical ministers adopted "practical preaching" methods, theatrical gestures, and a flamboyant style to attract converts. African American churches developed as a complex mixture of stoical endurance and emotional fervor and encouraged slaves to affirm their spiritual equality with whites. Emotionalism and communalism were at the heart of evangelical and African American churches during the Second Great Awakening. Other Protestant churches were less emotional and less entertaining and attracted fewer converts. For example, the Protestant Episcopal Church was dominated by wealthy lay members, which made it less appealing for converts.

6. Journal 54 - How was the Second Great Awakening similar to, and different from, the Frist Great Awakening of the 1740s (chapter 4)?
(It is important that you understand Americans' struggle to match democratic political ideals to social realities. The Second Great Awakening fostered the rise of reform organizations that tried to address some of these social realities, such as abolition and women's rights)
note: The discussion on the connection between religion and reform in this chapter previews Chapter 11, which will focus on the widespread social reform movements such as abolitionism and temperance that grew of out the Second Great Awakening.
