Spiritual and Economic Revival Before the US Civil War

Ricki Bradshaw examines the connections between the Second Great Awakening religious revival in the 19th century, an economic revival among businessmen in New York and other northern cities, and the outbreak of the American Civil War. He discusses how the revival led to a surge of people being baptized and joining churches, followed by an "economic revival" of booming business fortunes, particularly in the North. However, the issue of slavery became the flashpoint that ultimately divided the nation and Congress, leading to the catastrophic Civil War in which over 600,000 Americans, many of them believers, lost their lives amid disagreements over slavery and federal power. Bradshaw highlights how God used these interwoven movements to shape the course of the nation's history.
