Explanation:

Analyze the religious context

Using the Second Great Awakening knowledge point

The Second Great Awakening was a Protestant religious revival during the early 19th century in the United States. It emphasized individual salvation, personal responsibility, and the belief that individuals could improve themselves and society. This spiritual focus led directly to various social reform movements, including temperance, women's rights, and abolitionism.

Evaluate the moral objection

The revivalist theology taught that all people possess a moral conscience and are equal in the eyes of God. Consequently, Christian reformers argued that holding another human being in bondage was a direct sin against God because it denied the humanity of enslaved people and stripped them of their moral agency.

Assess the incorrect options

• The first option regarding immigration numbers is incorrect because the revival focused on spiritual and moral reform, not demographic control.
• The second option regarding racial mixing is incorrect as this was a pro-slavery or segregationist anxiety, not a religious objection from the Awakening.
• The fourth option regarding immigrant jobs is incorrect because economic labor competition was a secular political argument, not a spiritual objection stemming from religious revivalism.

Answer:

• brought too many people to the United States.
• would bring about a mixing of the races.
• denied the humanity of enslaved people. (Correct answer)
• took jobs away from immigrant workers.
