One major teaching of the Second Great Awakening was "People should live proper, moral, and respectful lives."

During the 19th century in the United States,  the Second Great Awakening represented a religious revival, basically in the Protestant religions, in which preachers taught the teachings of Jesus and Nazareth and invited their followers to follow the great example of Master Jesus. They said that people should live proper, moral, and respectful lives. At the cusp of the revival in 1840, Methodists and Baptists gained more followers that supported reformations in the country.
