What was the purpose of religious camp meetings in the early 1800s?

a. they provided the chance for thousands of children to be baptized into their faith.

b. they created an opportunity for preachers to ask followers for church funds.

c. they created an opportunity for followers to profess their faith and commitment to god.

d. they provided the chance for immigrants to learn about the religions practiced in america.

i would appreciate any stuck on this question : )

My answer is c.They created an opportunity for followers to profess their faith and commitment to God. Many settlers during this period had difficulty finding a place to profess their faith.  There were no churches to say mass and there were few ministers.  Holding these camps enabled them to profess their faith.

after a more than a decade and a half of combating al qaeda (aq) in afghanistan and pakistan,

the united states faces a diverse array of threats from al qaeda affiliates in the middle east and

africa. while senior al qaeda figures reportedly remain based in pakistan, the network includes

a number of affiliates across the middle east and africa including al qaeda in the arabian

peninsula (aqap), al qaeda in the islamic maghreb (aqim), and al shabaab. al qaeda also

retains a small but possibly growing presence in afghanistan. u.s. officials have stated that al

qaeda still maintains a foothold in syria through its ties to hay’at tahrir al sham (formerly

known as the nusra front), though the exact nature of that relationship may be evolving. this

report examines the threat posed by al qaeda affiliates in the middle east and africa as described

by u.s. officials and outside observers, as well as the u.s. approach to date in responding to these

threats. this was all i could find hope this : )
