Siddhartha was shielded from religious teachings or knowledge of human suffering by his father King Suddhodana . Yet, Siddhartha felt that material wealth was not the ultimate goal of life. At the age of 29, Siddhartha left his palace in order to meet his subjects. Despite his father's effort to remove the sick, aged and suffering from the public view, Siddhartha was said to have seen an old man. The prince went on further trips where he encountered, variously, a diseased man, a decaying corpse, and an ascetic. Deeply depressed by these sights, he sought to overcome old age, illness, and death by living the life of an ascetic.

Siddhartha escaped his palace leaving behind this royal life to become a mendicant. This event is traditionally called "The Great Departure".

Additionally, it increased the number of African slaves and free blacks who were exposed to and subsequently converted to Christianity and also inspired the founding of new missionary societies, such as the Baptist Missionary Society in 1792.

Explanation:

Great Awakening in the US or the Evangelical Revival in the UK   was a series of Christian revivals that swept Britain and its thirteen North American colonies between 1730 and 1749. The revival movement permanently affected Protestantism as adherents strove to renew individual piety and religious devotion.

Why did Lincoln deliberately downplay the slavery aspect of the Civil War?
TEA [102]

Answer:

Lincoln deliberately made his Emancipation Proclamation limited as he did not want to alienate slave holders in the Union or  Confederacy. He also hoped that some slave states would voluntarily come back into the Union. A military victory was needed as Lincoln did not want the Proclamation to look like the last gasp of a failing government.
