Question

What impact did the Great Awakening have on American Indians in 18th century American colonies

Answer 1

The Great Awakening was a religious revival in the 1730's and 1740's. It was particularly influential in the New England colonies, and sparked renewed religiouse activity in america. Many preachers were involved, including George Whitefeild, and Jonathan Edwards, who preached the famouse sermon, "Sinners in the hands of an Angry God." Many of the branches of christianity that were most affected by the great awakening (Including Baptists, Methodists, and Presbyterians) were among those that most supported the American Revolution. Furthermore, the enthusiasm and dedication to religious ideals and the social.and political ideoligy that often came with these contributed to the push for American nationalism and the activism that enabled it to occure. So, it not only changed the religious make-up of America and inspired people to turn to jesus,but also it was one of the factors that influenced the American Revolution that occured just decades later.
