The Great Awakening Religious movement in the 1730s and 1740s. Preached ideas that went against Puritan
beliefs and teachings. JONATHAN EDWARDS – one of the best known
preachers of the time – his sermon, “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God”, urged believers to develop a personal relationship with God.
This movement revitalized American religion by adding emotion.
The Abolitionist Movement began in response to the Great Awakening.
