The Great Awakening was characterized by a surge in religious fervor and revivalism in the American colonies during the 18th century. It emphasized personal faith, emotional experiences, and a direct relationship with God, often challenging established church authority. Preachers like Jonathan Edwards and George Whitefield played key roles, using passionate sermons to inspire congregations. This movement also contributed to the rise of new denominations and a greater emphasis on individualism in religious practice.
