The Great Awakening

Explore the interplay between the Great Awakening and Enlightenment thought in shaping American identity. This period witnessed a surge in religious fervor led by figures like George Whitefield and Jonathan Edwards, which challenged traditional authority and promoted ideas of natural laws and rights. Influenced by Enlightenment thinkers like Newton and Locke, this movement fostered a sense of unity among the colonies, sparking denominational diversity, increased church attendance, and an anti-authority sentiment that set the stage for future American independence.
