Why did the great awakening increase democratic feelings in the colonies?
The Great Awakening had more people care & participate in church. The people questioned authority & believed in equality.
How did the great awakening influence the colonist?
They began to question the authority of the church leaders.
Important leaders of the Great Awakening?
The importance of the Great Awakening is that it encouraged ideas of fairness and stressed the significance of an individual over the church. The ministers preached that inner religious emotion is more essential than outer religious behavior. They found out that the religious power was up to them, instead of the church. That realization led to the thinking that the political power was in their hands and not in the hands of the English monarch. The Great Awakening contributed to the Declaration of Independence, which was the separation from England and the colonies.
How did the ideas of the great awakening affect individual colonists and why did some ministers oppose the movement?
The Great Awakening stirred many, but not all, colonists. The Great Awakening had great effect on the Prebyterian Church in the middle colonies. Traditional and evangelical ideas were in conflict even in these remote frontier regions. Frontier missionary Charles Woodman tried to fight the changes brought about the Great Awakening. (Got this straight from the book) Hope this helps! :)
What was the impact of the great awakening toward colonial attitudes toward authority?
They studied the bible at home instead of church.
