After the American Revolutionary War, only 10% of the population of the United States was affiliated with any religious group. Various religions tried to remedy that situation with little success. In 1808, a big camp was arranged at Cain Ridge in Kentucky. Various clergymen preached day and night. A revival happened and many were converted. Traveling evangelists copied that style of preaching and many people joined churches. As a result many people became members of religious organizations.

∙ 13y agoThe main purpose of both the 1st Great Awakening (1730-1755) and the 2nd Great Awakening (1790-1840) was to inspire religious revivals within communites throughout the Original Thirteen Colonies and later the US, whom pastors had felt had gotten away from God. It started under strong preaching under Johnathan Edwards and George Whitefield under the messages that sin had destroyed Anglo-American culture and only God could save them by grace. Thousands came to Christ during these series of revivals and the Protestant churches, typically Methodists and Baptists, grew rapidly during these periods.
