No, "The Second Great Awakening" which happened to be followed by "The Third Great Awakening".

You didn't read the various posts that I sent out earlier on this did you...

Uh, Hello? Your post entitled "1st Great Awakening" describes the exact same thing that I called simply, "The Great Awakening." It was not, as you say above, the 2nd one.

They are they same if we ignore the fact that there is 50+ years between the 1st (1700-1750) and the 2nd (1800-1850).

I did read the various posts you sent. I don't know who chose the names for the 2nd and 3rd "Great Awakenings", but they don't seem to have much to do with religious revivalism like your "1st Great Awakening" and what I (and the definitive Norton Anthology) refer to as simply "The Great Awakening."

Then you should go back and read them some more. In fact, if you still have the originals they include in the header the URL where I got the data from. Take the 10 minutes and go over and take a look at them. All three were related to religous revivalism in one form or another. The 1st (which itself some consider to be the second occurance of a previous movement as indicated in the title) did not occur in the 1800's which was the original precis that somebody threw out I did some looking around as well and other then Norton, yourself, and whoever it was that made the original claim all references I can find to the Great Awakening refer to the 1700-1750 event(s) as the first one to occur in the America's. If I can find my Norton Anthology I'll take a look at it, though it is 15+ years old.
