Answer:

The correct answer is B. The Second Great Awakening led to the abolitionist's movement prior to the Civil War.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Second Great Awakening was a time when various religious movements began to have a very important influence and participation in the society and culture of the United States, which lasted from approximately 1790 to 1840.

From this time on, a great process of evangelization took place, through which the American society took up religious precepts that had been brought to New England by the Pilgrim Fathers, beginning to base public morality on these concepts.

As a result, a renewed humanistic current emerged in the country, seeking to amalgamate the founding principles of the nation (life and freedom) with the principles of the Christian religion. Thus, this new current of thought began to demonstrate against slavery, for going against the principle of freedom and for not considering African-Americans as children of God, as religious texts said.
