Thank you Wait And here's your shmoop du jour brought

00:05

to you by the nineteen eighties In addition year shmoop

00:08

du jour the eighties are also bringing you an unlimited

00:11

supply of shoulder pads and hairspray The bottom and bulk

00:15

costco Okay so here's the passage All right well the

00:23

predominance of the religious right in the nineteen eighties was

00:26

most similar to the developments in which of the following

00:28

earlier periods and hear your potential answers are well shmoop

00:33

follows the traditional belief that there are three things you

00:36

shouldn't talk about in polite company religion politics and fight

00:40

club And now that we've already mentioned all three of

00:42

them in one video well we might as well dive

00:44

right in We are allowed to talk about fight club

00:47

right We're pretty sure we can but we did forget

00:50

steak notes during the first meeting so you know well

00:52

we'll figure out the whole fight club things mother time

00:55

Christianity has always had a strong influence on american life

00:57

but its effect on politics comes in waves amber waves

01:01

of political game to be precise the nineteen eighties saw

01:04

a rise in christian organizations seeking to lobby for laws

01:08

and to rock the vote Whoever this wasn't the first

01:11

time this happened in american history to answer the question

01:14

we need to think hard about our knowledge about evangelical

01:17

christianity in the united states just knowing about that preacher

01:21

who claimed he could bench press two thousand pounds isn't

01:23

gonna cut it The first choice we can nix is

01:26

d the nineteen sixties well sixties or none for things

01:29

like rock and roll protest ng and mankind finally making

01:32

outer space it's personal playground of the nineteen sixties was

01:36

a time when people started questioning their religious beliefs not

01:40

injecting them into politics So this can't be our guy

01:43

Next two goes the nineteen twenties While christian values played

01:46

an important role in american life There was no boom

01:48

of organizations promoting social conservatism That leaves us with the

01:52

seventeen thirties in the eighteen forties which is tough because

01:55

come on those were a long time ago I barely

01:57

remember what we had for breakfast this morning Yeah well

02:00

the seventeen thirties was a period known as the great

02:03

awakening Why will the seventeen twenties were pretty boring but

02:07

with no electricity no facebook no miniature golf you know

02:10

come to think of it seventeen thirties weren't much better

02:12

Okay but in all seriousness the great awakening was in

02:15

evangelical surge that started in england and swept the american

02:18

colonies It shared many features with the nineteen eighties family

02:22

values powerful preachers like george whitfield A freaky fondness for

02:27

spandex and you know stuff like that It was a

02:29

time when people realized they could instill their spirituals values

02:33

into the political process sounds like a potential answer but

02:36

let's see what we remember about eighteen forties with the

02:39

eighteen forties rolled around at the tail end of a

02:42

period known as the second great awakening well the second

02:45

great awakening was known for can't meetings which were large

02:47

events or charismatic creatures would convert new members to various

02:51

evangelical denominations Your conversion ceremonies were typically wedged between three

02:56

o'clock likes women The six o'clock smores cook off This

03:00

was the era where christianity broke off into more branches

03:03

in america and the fire of the faith was beginning

03:05

to cool down by the eighteen forties So we're going

03:08

to send be packing and that means a is our

03:11

correct answer the next time you're at a party and

03:13

someone asked you what was similar about the nineteen eighties

03:17

in the seventeen thirties you khun say surgeon evangelical values

03:21

in american politics but maybe find some tamer friends to 00:03:26.475 --> [endTime] go party with Sounds like these guys go hard
