1820s Revivalism

The 1820s Revivalism was a religious movement in the United States characterized by energetic preaching and emotional gatherings, aimed at inspiring conversion and personal faith. It emerged as a response to growing secularism and emphasized personal salvation, revival meetings, and widespread evangelism. Influenced by Protestant values, it sought to rekindle religious enthusiasm across different communities, leading to the growth of new denominations and social activism. This movement played a key role in shaping the religious landscape of America, fostering a sense of individual spiritual responsibility and community involvement during the early 19th century.
