∙ 9y ago
In the English colonies, the Church became the most significant social institution. It tied together most of the colonists based on faith, and many, if not all, of the social interaction in the early colonies stemmed from this connection. The political institution arose from English common law, which was often combined with religious law as well. Initially religion in the colonies was defined by which church congregation a person belonged to. However, the Great Awakening changed the way religion was viewed in the colonies from denomination to a person's personal commitment to God.
