Looking at the rise of Mormonism during beginning of the great revivalist movement in the US of 1820's up in rural upstate New York called "The Second Great Awakening" Joseph Smith lived Dec1805 – June 1844 up in Vermont but his family moves down to the "burned over district" when he was about 12yrs, which is right in the center of this American Revivalist movement . Here you have whole towns meeting down by the river , people feel the "Lord" coming & the Holy Ghost is hiding everywhere behind every rock & tree which this entire region gets caught up in this mania . Where preachers & "charmed ones" were springing up like chipmonks much like what would be found in Biblical times around the time of John the Baptist & everyone not wanting to be left out gets swept up in this rapturist hysteria which Joseph Smith feels right at home in & jumps right in with his made up fictions, plagiarized Bible imitation & fantastical "wonder stories" . People in 1820 not very sophisticated were buying into anything given their immortal souls were on the line , always a good hook that one . Whats interesting about this time especially up in that area of the US which was experiencing this massive religious movement made up of many common people & slaves , note the chart , an exponential growth of off~shoot denominational sects start exploding in the US out of this time of intense revivalism & preparation for the Second Coming . And all this revivalism moves on out into the frontiers becoming a spreading "camp meeting" phenomenon and really doesn't die down until the turn of the 20th century when it peaks with the great Revival Tent circuits. Very interesting , this period you see an exponential growth of offshoots of Christianity & the birth of Mormons and of course were all still waiting for the second coming still ;o) "Second Great Awakening" en.wikipedia.org The Second Great AWAKENING* was a* Christian revival movement during the early 19th century in the United States. The movement began around 1800, had begun to gain momentum by 1820, and was in decline by 1870. [1] The Second Great AWAKENING expressed Arminian theology, by which every person could be saved through revivals. It enrolled millions of new members, and led to the formation of new denominations. Many converts believed that the AWAKENING heralded a new millennial age. The Second Great AWAKENING* stimulated the establishment of many reform movements designed to remedy the evils of society before the* Second Coming of Jesus Christ. [2]
