Second Great Awakening Change and Results

"Finney believed the gospel did not just get people saved, but it was also a means of cleaning up society. He and his followers worked to make the United States a Christian nation. Finney himself was a strong abolitionist and encouraged Christians to become involved in the antislavery movement... The Second Great Awakening had a greater effect on society than any other revival in America."

Amen, brother Finney. Amen.
