The Great Awakening was largely spurred by a reaction against the established religious institutions and a desire for personal, emotional connections to faith. Key beliefs included the emphasis on individual experience of salvation, the necessity of personal piety, and a rejection of formalism in worship. Preachers like Jonathan Edwards and George Whitefield promoted the idea that anyone could achieve spiritual rebirth, fostering a sense of democratization in religion. This movement also encouraged greater questioning of authority and traditional practices.
It taught people to stand up for their beliefs.
The first great awakening was in 1730-1743.
