Answer:  Second

American Gothic fiction was encouraged by religious traditions like Puritanism, which emphasized sin and predestination, and was influenced by contemporaneous scientific discoveries that challenged established beliefs, such as Darwin's theory of evolution. The genre thrived on the fears and unknowns of the time, including the mysterious American frontier and the anxieties of a society in flux due to industrialization and urbanization
