The Second Great Awakening in antebellum America had sectional differences. Although a common negative thread lay in bigotry and self righteousness, adherents to it were somewhat different in the North and the South. In the North the movement veered towards a general reform of society as a necessary prelude to the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. The Evangelical Protestantism of the South was more concerned with individual conversion. The Southern view was that the mixture of religion and politics in the North was fraught with danger.
Another sectional difference was that the phobia against Catholicism and Immigration in the North was much less a factor in the Southern "Awakening".
