Second Great Awakening (view source)

The abolitionist movement especially was a product of the Second Great Awakening in the Northeast. The Congreagational and presbyterian churches were especially influential. Men were the leaders but women were more numerous, and over 200 women's antislavery societies were organized. The men gave speeches and wrote pamphlets. The women's groups raised funds, distributed pamphlets, collected signatures to petition Congress, networked with women from the English antislavery movement, and welcomed black women abolitionists.<ref> Beth A.
