Why did protestant christianity and protestant women emerge as forces for social change?

The republicans had forced the lawmakers to craft a different relationship between the state and churches. Most significant, the formal idea of religious taxes for the established had lost the credibility. As a result, the popularity of protestant churches was decreased because of the spread of republicanism philosophy among the Americans. In essence, the values of the church had become less conservative. At the same time, people affiliated to the Republican Party started condemning some religious restrictions. In some cases, drift was experienced in some church organizations as they responded to the philosophy that was being advocated through the republicanism.

However, the Second Great Awakening force changed the relationship between protestant Christianity and people. Consequently, several protestant churches emerged with their democratic religious emphasis hence transforming congregants into active reformers. Also, the Great awakening was appealing to women in the society to agitate strongly for political, as well as social equality. In addition, it increased the role and confidence of protestant women as agents of positive social change. Some of the women forums included churches, public conferences, homes, and educational institutions
