First Great Awakening (jan 1, 1730 – dec 31, 1749)

Description:

The First Great Awakening was a powerful religious revival that swept through the American colonies in the early to mid-18th century, emphasizing emotional religiosity and personal faith over institutional doctrine and the rituals of established churches. It led to the proliferation of new Protestant denominations, increased religious diversity, and greater democratic impulses within the colonies, as it challenged traditional authority and encouraged a sense of personal empowerment among believers.
