There were two Great Awakenings- the first beginning in the 1730's, and the second in the 1800's. This were periods of religious revival in American. They were Characterized by new denominations, "fire and brimstone" speakers, and camp meetings (retreats where people would spend days praying, worshiping, and listening to speakers). Some influential people in these time periods were George Whitefield and Johnathan Edwards, Charles Finney and Peter Cartwright.
