In the mid-1800s, leaders of free African American communities in the North were often influenced by the Second Great Awakening and its spirit of reform.

The influence of the so-called Second Great Awakening impacted many communities of African Americans in the north region of the United States. This movement represented a revival of the fervor of Protestant Christian religions at the beginning of the 1800s. Mostly led by Methodists and Baptists preachers, the Second Great Awakening taught that as the second coming of Jesus was close, people had to behave as the Master did during his time on Earth, with morale, with honesty, and compassion.

Answer: The Second Great Awakening and its spirit of reform.

Explanation: Second Great Awakening was a period from 1790 to 1840, was the second wave of religious revival in the United States of America and consisted of renewed personal salvation experienced in revival meetings of the faith.

The movement encouraged an active evangelical attitude, which later erupted into US life through claims such as prison reform, women's suffrage, the abolitionist movement, and others.
