The Great Awakening was a movement of revival of religion that had a great impact on the English colonies of America in 1730s and 1740s ("4. Colonial Society | THE AMERICAN YAWP", 2018). This started at a time when the idea of enlightenment spread across Atlantic and secular rationalism was being focused on and when the passion for religion lost some spirit. Many Christian leaders went from place to place and preached the gospel and concentrated on salvation from sins promoting at the same time the enthusiasm for Christian religion.
