====Conclusion====
The Second Great Awakening changed Americans' understanding of their relationship with God. The movement rejected Calvinism and promoted the idea that humans not only had free will but could determine, through their actions, whether or not they deserved salvation. This version of Christian philosophy became widely accepted because it gave people more control over their spiritual lives. It gave them people agency in their own religious lives that Calvinism had denied them.
