Mentioned during lecture, evangelical religion was a hierarchical religion during the 17th-19th century. God was considered as the Father and men as ministers and congregants were doing the work of God. He created Eve as the original sin. Thus, this belief placed women in the position of a househol and were to be moral mothers. They were viewed as susceptible to grace by Christ as man was but obtained no authority. The Second Great Awakening came about and stirred to support religious conversions. Women became the primary converts since they brought their families along with them.
