The Second Great Awakening and the abolition movement had in common that both relied on religious belief. The Second Great Awakening was a religious revival movement that emphasized individual piety and a personal relationship with God, and it inspired many reform movements, including abolitionism. Abolitionists often framed their arguments against slavery in moral and religious terms, viewing the institution as incompatible with Christian values.
