historians stress the understanding common among participants of reform as being a part of god's plan. as a result, local churches saw their roles in society in purifying the world through the individuals to whom they could bring salvation, and through changes in the law and the creation of institutions. interest in transforming the world was applied to mainstream political action, as temperance activists, antislavery advocates, and proponents of other variations of reform sought to implement their beliefs into national politics. while protestant religion had previously played an important role on the american political scene, the second great awakening strengthened the role it would play.
