Inspired personal transformation and social improvement.
The Second Great Awakening emphasized individual conversion, moral responsibility, and the possibility of "perfection" in this life. Revivalism and leaders like Charles Finney encouraged believers to act to reform society, fueling movements such as temperance, abolition, prison and asylum reform, and early women’s rights. (It did not promote predestination or discourage social activism.)
