In his writings, Thomas Jefferson constantly plagiarized the writings of Roger Williams, the founder of Rhode Island and the Baptist Church in America. These writings on freedom and respect for the individual were spread by the great awakening. In fact, listening to many of the evangelists present the statements of Roger Williams was the equivalent of listening to the writings of Thomas Jefferson. While England had a Great Awakening at the same time, the two were different. America took from the English movement. America also took from Roger Williams. England did not take anything from America. Thus, the preachers popularized the ideas that would enable America to accept self government and self responsibility. Other nations have adopted self government but have failed because the people have not accepted self responsibility. There was no great awakening.
