The Second Great Awakening began around 1800, again among Presbyterians, in the Cane Ridge, Kentucky. In addition to being more vast and complex, this awakening differed from the first in other important aspects. If the previous revival was essentially limited to Presbyterians and congregations, it reached all denominations, especially Baptists and Methodists, who grew rapidly and became the largest Protestant groups in North America. Another difference was geographic and social: while the first awakening occurred in urban areas close to the coast, the second erupted in the so-called "border," the rural region of the midwest with its mobile population and its unstable social organization.

A third difference between the two revivals concerns their theology. While the 18th century movement had a solidly Calvinistic base, with its emphasis on human inability and God's sovereign initiative, the Second Awakening revealed a distinctly Arminian orientation, giving great emphasis to the human being's choice and decision potential. This characteristic, which combined with the young nation's ideals of freedom and individual initiative, found its most eloquent expression in the revivalist Charles G. Finney (1792-1875). Finney believed that the revival could be produced through the use of techniques, called "new measures", which included insistent and emotionally charged appeals, personal advice from the determined and prolonged series of evangelistic meetings. These elements are still present today in a considerable part of world evangelicalism.
