I started discussing the
Second Great Awakening,

which was this era of
increased religious fervor,

although I'd say that
the height of this time

without their own congregation going out,

where they would preach
to thousands of people

about a very emotional
version of Christianity.

and to work for the
creation of heaven on Earth.

in American culture in
the early 19th century.

what conditions in American
life led to this explosion?

Why did this major cultural change happen?

So let's explore some of what was going on

the Second Great Awakening
is part of this larger web

of cultural, social,
and political movements

trying to figure out what
was going on in American life

that led to this sudden
reemergence of religious devotion.

So let's explore more
on this side of our web

and I have two maps
for us to explore here.

And this canal, which
allowed goods and crops

and all sorts of things to be transported

from western New York down
to the Port of New York City,

and this is kind of the area
that we're looking at here.

Let's see if I can make
it a little more obvious.

So this is a blow-up of that
little region right there.

And I tell you this not just
because canals are awesome,

but because the Erie Canal
is a really important moment

Now, I'll go more into
the Market Revolution

but what's important about
the Market Revolution

is that it's this time when
how Americans did business

One of these is a revolution
in transportation,

go the wrong way up the Mississippi River

now, instead of only being
able to sell your apples,

say, to people who live
within a certain radius

before your apples go
bad, you can just put them

Likewise, if you're
farming wheat in Missouri,

you don't have to sell
to just people in here.

even sell to people
internationally, right?

you are not just part
of a small local market.

You're now part of an
international market.

And it also means you're gonna
need ways of communicating

So you might correspond only
by letter or by telegram
