The Second Great Awakening exercised a profound impact on American religious history.  The numerical strength of the Baptists and Methodists rose relative to that of the denominations dominant in the colonial period—the [[Anglican Communion|Anglicans]], Presbyterians, [[Congregational church|Congregationalists]], and [[Reformed churches|Reformed]]. Efforts to apply Christian teaching to the resolution of social problems presaged the [[Social Gospel]] of the late 19th century. The United States was becoming a more culturally diverse nation in the early to mid-19th century, and the growing differences within American Protestantism reflected and contributed to this diversity.  The Awakening influenced numerous reform movements, especially [[abolitionists]].
