“The Great Awakening refers to a northeastern Protestant revival movement that took place in the 1730s and 1740s. The supporters of the Awakening and its evangelical thrust—Presbyterians, Baptists and Methodists—became the largest American Protestant denominations by the first decades of the 19th century. By the 1770s, the Baptists were growing rapidly both in the north (where they founded Brown University), and in the South. Opponents of the Awakening or those split by it—Anglicans, Quakers, and Congregationalists—were left behind.” Please enjoy our content from the 1700s with an emphasis on “Early American Imprints.”
