I don't know a whole lot about the Second Great Awakening or this period of American history in general, but I grew up with a lot of Mormons and have a bit of a background on their faith. How does the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (aka the Mormon Church) relate to other churches and religious movements formed at the same time as it (rather than the other churches that split off after Brigham Young succeeded Joseph Smith)? Are there similarities in doctrine or theology that persist today? Do churches formed in the same time and place still exist, or is the Mormon church somehow special in this regard?
A lot of the churches founded in the second great awakening were only slight variations of current ones. Some of the denominations that people commonly think of as starting in it, didn't. For example, Baptist largely grew out of the Anabaptist movement in Holland.
Mormonism is totally different than the other denominations that formed during the same time period. Mormonism can be consider its own form of Christianity and not related to Protestantism very much at all. Mormons have a totally different belief and value system. There's not much in common between a Methodist and a Mormon, outside of thinking Jesus is divine there's basically no common ground.
Mormons believed Joseph smith dug up a New Testament, that was made of gold, in his back yard. People started listening to his preaching and Mormonism grew from there. The second great awakening only grew the ranks of smaller Protestant denominations like the baptists and Methodists, it didn't really have an effect on the Mormons. The founding of Mormonism and the second great awakening happened at roughly the same time but aren't really related
Mormon here. There are a lot of similarities, but also a lot of differences. One of the key differences between Mormonism and other protestant churches at the time is the concept of modern revelation and personal revelation. Mormons believe that God still speaks and speaks through prophets and that he has given other books, not just the bible. For many faiths, the Bible is the only word of God and nothing else is necessary. In not sure what other information to include, but I'm more than willing to answer more questions.
