First Great Awakening:
• 1730s-1740s
• Credited founder: Jonathan Edwards (remember Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God?)
Based on Puritan/Congregationalist ideals
o Northampton, Massachusetts
o Preached personal salvation
o Discussed repentance for sins (why? Remember “declension”?)
• Other major supporter: George Whitefield (revivalist, travels through the colonies)
o More emotional, revival-like sermons and preaching
o Influences the south (slaveholders participate; try to prevent slaves from attending)
• Influence of the “backcountry” – non-wealthy colonists living further west, take new revivalism
to heart and form new sects (remember the significance of this group on Early American
History)
Second Great Awakening:
• Early 1800s; usually 1810s to as late as the 1840s
• Most known leader: Charles Grandison Finney (has appeared in related DBQ essays)
• Directly influenced by increasing political participation of common citizens
• Plays a direct role in the antebellum reform movements, especially abolitionism (but also
including temperance, prison reform, and women’s rights – remember the Mock Exam FRQ?)
• Popular in the backcountry; especially the southern Appalachian regions
• Again, slaveholders tried to prevent slaves from attending; eventually had to come up with
Christian reasons for slavery
• Role of the Second Great Awakening on the frontier? As people move away from traditional
homelands, they must search for a sense of community
• This is really where newer sects gain increased membership: Methodists, Baptists
• Also, very different sects emerge: Mormons, Seventh-Day Adventists

Answer: An Illusion.
Explanation: One of the most celebrated paradoxes in the history of philosophy is that which tells the story of the Greek hero Achilles and the tortoise. It is said that Achilles, running a race with a tortoise, in a rush of generosity, decided to give her a small advantage, letting the animal break a few inches in front of him. According to the Greek philosopher Zeno, as fast as Achilles moved, he could never get past the tortoise. The paradox formulated by Zeno is this: each time Achilles travels a certain distance within a given time, the turtle has already traveled another distance
What Zeno was doing was to demonstrate that the movement of objects is an unrealistic and contradictory phenomenon, always consisting of mere illusion of the senses.
