Great+Awakening


 * __ Super Summary __** by: Madison Blair

The Great Awakening is a religious movement that swept the colonies in the 1730’s and 1740’s. This movement affected both social and political life. During The Great Awakening ideas between colonies were shared, people were demanding inequality, and democratic systems were introduced to colonies who hadn’t seen that type of government before. The movement began because religious leaders wanted to spread their feelings and beliefs so they began holding meetings to inform others. Jonathan Edwards was a main leader during this time. Men, woman, and the poor were allowed to come to these meetings. The idea was to take the colonists focus away from race, religion and class. So The Great Awakening was a group of religious leaders spreading their beliefs to others.
