question 24
which of the following best describes the relationship of femininity and domesticity in the south?
a domesticity opened opportunities of wealthy white women to engage in the public sphere
b domesticity was only applied to african american women
c domesticity played a very small role in the lives of white women
d domesticity limited the opportunities of wealthy white women to engage in the public sphere

Explanation:

• For the first question: The Second Great Awakening emphasized emotional religious experiences. Presbyterians, with their more formal and traditional religious structures, were less in tune with the revivalist, emotional - driven nature of the Second Great Awakening compared to Baptists, Methodists (who were more revivalist - oriented), and Episcopalians (who also saw some growth).
• For the second question: In the Southern context, the cult of domesticity idealized women as keepers of the home. Wealthy white women were expected to focus on domestic duties (child - rearing, running the household), which limited their participation in the public sphere. African American women were often forced into labor (not just domestic in the idealized sense), and domesticity was a significant part of white women's lives (contradicting options B and C). Option A is incorrect as domesticity was more about confinement to the home rather than opening public - sphere opportunities.

Answer:

B. Presbyterians
D. Domesticity limited the opportunities of wealthy white women to engage in the public sphere
