Page "Second Great Awakening" Paragraph 16

The Restoration Movement began during, and was greatly influenced by, the Second Great Awakening.

While the leaders of one of the two primary groups making up this movement, Thomas Campbell and Alexander Campbell, resisted what they saw as the spiritual manipulation of the camp meetings, the revivals contributed to the development of the other major branch, led by Barton W. Stone.

The Southern phase of the Awakening " was an important matrix of Barton Stone's reform movement " and shaped the evangelistic techniques used by both Stone and the Campbells.
