The Second Great Awakening began around 1800, again among the Presbyterians, in Cane Ridge, Kentucky. In addition to being vast and complex, this awakening differed from the first in other important respects. While the earlier revival was essentially confined to Presbyterian and Congregational congregations, it has reached all denominations, especially Baptists and Methodists, which have grown dramatically and become the largest Protestant groups in North America. Another difference was geographical and social: while the first awakening occurred in urban areas near the coast, the second erupted on the so-called "frontier," the midwestern rural region with its mobile population and unstable social organization.
