The Great Awakening

The social impact that the Great awakening had in 18th century colonial America was that it opened the doors of some white churches. The churches were now opened to African Americas and Indians.

George Whitefield started a home for orphans called the Bethesda Orphanage in Georgia during the Great Awakening. He believed in providing care and education for orphaned children who were often neglected by society.

The Great Awakening was a period of time when Americans began to reconnect with religion and it created a sense of unity among Americans. It eventually led to ideas of the revolution and becoming independent.

In "The Awakening" by Kate Chopin, the main conflicts involve Edna Pontellier's struggle against societal expectations and gender roles, particularly in relation to her roles as a wife and mother. She also faces inner conflict as she grapples with her own desires and the limitations imposed by her social status and the expectations of those around her.

The Great Awakening helped break down the barriers that kept social classes apart. The preachers insisted that there was a spiritual equality to all people no matter where they were from, or what class, race, and gender they were. All could participate in the direct expression of religion. People interpreted this thinking into the secular and that it could allow the free people among them to contest the hegemony of the wealthy ruling class of merchants and great planters. This gave people a common language and helped to mitigate the differences between ethnic groups. The cultures of early America were complex and by the mid 18th century class similarities among farmers and gentlemen pointed toward consolidated class cultures, but the differences persisted. These differences and the regional differences would effect American politics and eventually lead to civil war.

some one help

It was the uprising of new churches in the 1740's

Religion.

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.

the great awakening

During the Great Awakening in 18th century America, there was a surge in religious fervor and revivalism. People experienced a spiritual awakening and it led to renewed interest in religion, church attendance, and personal piety. This movement also gave rise to new religious denominations and sparked social and political changes.

It encouraged people to stand up for there beliefs -Apex

how did the great awakening led to changes in the colonial life and in the colonies relationship with great Britain

There was no actual group, it was a solo project by David Cohen . . .

. . . . an astounding session guitarist frrom L.A. in the sixties who most definitely was the artist who recorded a single of Amazing Grace . . . . David was my guitar mentor, and I worked at the Ash Grove School of Traditional Folk Music when I was a teenager in the sixties, where David was one of the noteworthy teachers, which included Taj Mahal.

I was allowed to learn all the guitar I could stand, attend all the shows and eat for free all week long (The Ash Grove was a major folk/roots music venue), plus five bucks a day on Sundays when I worked for the school . . . . and I have been a pro guitarist ever since.

David is not well known, but we have all heard his work.

He played the acoustic 12-String guitar on Bobby Darin's huge hit "If I Were A Carpenter", he played the backwards-taped electric guitar solo on the Kenny Rogers psychedelic band tune (before Rogers went country) called "I Just Dropped In To See What Condition My Condition Was In" . . . the band was Kenny Rogers & the First Edition.

David also played on some Sonny and Cher hits and some Nillson records, and much more.

His mentor, or at the very least a major influence on David was another lesser known but highly interesting L.A. session guitarist named Don Peake.

The First Great Awakening was a revival of religious feeling and belief in the American colonies in the 1730s. Benjamin Franklin wrote about the change he observed in Philadelphia: "It seemed as if the world were growing religious, so that one could not walk through the town in an evening without hearing psalms sung in different families on every street."

From the 1720s through the 1740s a religious revival came (the great awakening)

IN New England and the middle colonis ministers called for a new birth a return to the strong faith of earlier days > Johnathon Edwards and George Whitefield were 2 great preachers for the great awakening. The Great Awakening led to the formation of many new churches
