During the Second Great Awakening, the following occurred:
-
New universities were founded to educate Protestant ministers - This is true. Institutions like Oberlin College were established during this period to train ministers and promote religious education.
-
Jonathan Edwards and George Whitefield preached lively sermons - This is mostly inaccurate for the Second Great Awakening specifically, as both Edwards and Whitefield were prominent figures during the First Great Awakening in the 18th century.
-
The African Methodist Episcopal Church was founded - This is true. The AME Church was founded in the early 19th century (1816), during the time influenced by the Second Great Awakening.
-
Divisions among members led to the creation of new churches - This is also true. The Second Great Awakening led to various schisms and the formation of new denominations as different groups interpreted religious beliefs in diverse ways.
In summary, the events that occurred during the Second Great Awakening include the founding of new universities for Protestant ministers, the establishment of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, and the creation of new churches due to divisions among members.
