Methodist circuit riders were itinerant preachers in the 18th and 19th centuries who traveled on horseback to serve sparsely populated areas in the United States. They played a crucial role in spreading Methodism, conducting services, and establishing congregations in regions where churches were scarce. Their commitment and mobility helped shape the growth of the Methodist Church, particularly during the Second Great Awakening. These riders often faced challenging conditions, including difficult terrain and limited resources, but their dedication significantly impacted American religious life.

How did Britain react to the American Declaration of Independence?
When Copies of the Declaration of Independence reached England, a civil war broke out. A number of Englishmen wanted their own freedom from King George. Men and supplies meant for America were diverted to put down the revolt. English armies also had to fight in Scotland and Ireland. Two Methodist Preachers, John Wesley and John Fletcher began writing sermons supporting law and order. The Methodist circuit riders preached them. Basically it was the Methodist Circuit Riders that put down the revolt. John Wesley's followers say that because of his circuit riders, England was spared the revolutions that spread across Europe. His critics say the same thing. King George offered John Wesley the position of Chancellor in the government and he offered John Fletcher the position of Prime Minister. Both turned him down.
