    The Second Awakening revealed a distinctly Arminian orientation, highlighting the potential for human choice and decision. 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 revival could be produced through the use of techniques, called "new measures," which included insistent, emotionally charged appeals, personal counseling of the decided, and extended series of evangelistic meetings. These elements are still present in a considerable portion of world evangelicalism.

    Beginning with the Second Great Awakening, revivalism became a widespread phenomenon in North American Protestantism, especially in its evangelical wing. This interest resulted in a curious institution that lasted until the early decades of the twentieth century - the camp meeting. These were large concentrations in sometimes confusing rural areas where hundreds of people, including whole families, stayed in tents and listened for several days to a series of revivalist preachers. These meetings were the forerunners of the great evangelistic concentrations held from the late nineteenth century to the present day, under the leadership of men like Dwight L. Moody, Billy Sunday, and Billy Graham.
