How does the First Great Awakening differ from the second Great Awakening? What were their major characteristics?

The First Great Awakening, which took place starting in the 1730s, was about reviving predestination (the idea that people are selected before birth to be saved or not). This movement was also about fostering people's enthusiasm about religion and their personal relationships with God. Preachers such as Jonathan Edwards traveled from place to place, preaching in outdoor camp meetings.
The Second Great Awakening, which took place around 1800, did not try to revive people's belief in predestination. Instead, it involved an emphasis on good works, and it helped spark the growth of reform movements, including temperance and abolitionism. Women and slaves were important participants in the Second Great Awakening, and the movement led to the establishment of African American churches such as the African Methodist Episcopal (AME) Church. The movement also led to women having a larger role in many churches.
