The Great Awakening had many effects on both society and the church. People could not reach religious temples and/or were too busy to travel. The independent ministers were alarmed by this emptiness in the church, so they decided to hold religious acts and speeches in the local colonies that had far access to a church. People were attracted to this new, unorthodox way to present religious speeches and acts and inspired the people to get more involved in their religion or they would "go to hell postmortem." People felt that they needed to cleanse themselves from all their sins and were extremely devoted to their religion. That made conflicts start. The high-rank class were insulting the low-ranking society for being uneducated by not following their religion. The higher class felt threatened by these new ideas and tried to convince people to think their way. The low-ranking society immediately responded with the words, "The poor will go to heaven and the rich will go to hell." This led to an effect of the suggestion for equality. The Great Awakening was over in about a decade, but it left a huge impact on societies that are the thirteen colonies and other societies today. The idea that called for equality and religious freedom were influenced by the Great Awakening.

The Great Awakening
The Great Awakening had many effects on the people and their society. It also effected the church in many ways. When the church heard about this act they started to hold religious speeches to inspire the people. This helped people get more involved in their religion and these speeches caught many citizens attention. People started to get into their religion greatly and they started to feel as if they should cleanse themselves from all of their sins. Itinerant ministers also started to travel through out colonies to preach about god and his beliefs. They held these speeches in meetinghouses, greens, city streets, and clearings. They where focusing on the actual teachings and not all of the rituals. Most of the people where frightened because the ministers basically said that to forget about the church and come with us and just read the bible. Because of this act their society changed in a major way.

What were the effects of the Great Awakening?
The effects of the Great Awakening were the religious movements in the colonies.It was a part of the religious ferment that swept western Europe in the latter part of the 17th century. One of the great figures of the movement was George Whitefield, an Anglican priest. he preached up and down the colonies to crowds in open fields because no church building would hold the throngs he attracted. Even though he gained many converts, he was attacked. Jonathan Edwards was the great apologist of the Great Awakening. He was a pastor at Northampton, Massachusetts, he preached justification by faith alone.
Jonathan Edward an England preacher set off The Great Awakening in the colonies, a young minister in the village of Salem. He believed that the business of church and the state should be separate, and believed in in religious toleration. Allowed freedom to Jews, Catholics and protestants(Christians) religions. Warned that the people should heeded the Bible's teachings, he said "sinners in the hand of an angry god" what this means is someone ignores the word of good it can be excommunicated. Another figure was Anne Hutchinson a popular midwife from Boston and the mother of 14 children, argued that only clergymen were qualified to explain the words of God. The Great Awakening influenced many women and men. The great awakening affect the people by getting more in religious ceremonies and attending o religious activities and knowing the word of God. Back then people didn't had any Tv, or somehow to entertain themselves what they do was go. yolanda
The Great Awakening was a serious religious movement during the 1700's-1700's in the American Colonies. This showed the start of people in the colonies having a new mind set on the government and their beliefs. This influenced a a new way of thinking among the colonist because, people were now realizing they did not have to follow a certain faith just because they were told to do so. New ideas and thoughts about the church changed the way people done things during their daily living. With out this movement who knows what our world would be like today because people would probably still be restricted in the area of religious freedom.
The Great Awakening was perceived by many people in many different ways. One way that it was perceived was by the wealthy, the wealthy did not like the Itinerant Ministers. They didn't like them because the Itinerant Ministers followed Unorthodox methods. Others perceived it differently. The poorer people that weren't as wealthy enjoyed the Itinerant Ministers a lot. They enjoyed the Itinerant Ministers because of many reasons some of them are: they wouldn't have to meet at the church(this was easier for them), the ministers were easier to understand because they expressed their speeches with body language. They also enjoyed the ministers' preaches a lot. The ordained pastors didn't like the Itinerant Ministers because they were uneducated. These were the different perspectives of the Great Awakening.
2.What was the Great Awakening and how did it influence a new way of thinking among the colonists.
The Great Awakening was a religious movement that took place in the colonies during the 1730’s and 1740’s. During the Great Awakening, people such as George Whitefield and Jonathan Edwards of Massachusetts, went around the colonies, preaching and giving powerful sermons. These powerful sermons drew people of many different races, religions and social classes. People from all around came to watch, and listen to these men and women and their ideas. One of the many ways that this influenced colonial life was by the way the preachers talked to their audience. The preachers taught these colonists to have a mind of their own when it comes to religion, and think what they want to think about God. From this, the colonists began to have their own ideas on government, and began to have a mind for themselves.

2)What was the Great Awakening and how did it influence a new way of thinking among the colonists?
The Great Awakening was a religious movement that happened during the 1730's and 1740's which started in the American colonies and then became a conflagration through all the colonies. One way that influenced a new way of thinking throughout the colonies was Itinerant ministers who traveled throughout colonies preaching about god as well as providing a new way to practice there religion. But the most important thing the Itinerant ministers presented was a hope for salvation that people found more suitable for there daily lives.So they didn't have to drive all the way to church every Sunday but they could form there own religious groups. These powerful sermons gave people a chance to think for there own and have there own ideas about government.

2. What was the Great Awakening and how did it influence a new way of thinking among the colonists.
To me and I think many others the Great Awakening is a religious movement during the 1730's and 1740's. It is considered one of the most famous sermons in all of American History. Many priest's would preach out messages of salvation convincing people of there audience to convert in to there thinking. This was one of the ways priest's influenced colonist's to accept there ideas. Other things priest's did to influence colonists was that they would travel to many places giving a speech each place the went. When priests did this they gave the colonists new ideas to think about and new ways to think about religion.
The effects of the Great Awakening were during the 1730's and 1740's. It was a religious movement in which itinerant ministers presenting powerful messages of salvation. When the church found out about this act they started to hold speeches tho inspire the people. Ministers traveled throughout the thirteen colonies to preach about God. People weren't in agreements. They would leave their old churches and forming their own churches. All the forming of these churches the society had to be more tolerant. Preaches were challenging authority, by telling people you don't need the church just read the bible and the bible will guide you through life.
THE GREAT AWAKING HAD MANY EFFECTS ON BOTH SOCIETY. ALSO THE CHURCH.tHE MINISTERS WERE VERY SUPRIZED AND DISSOPINTED ON HOW EMPTY THE CHURCH WAS.SO THEY STARTED THE RELIOUGES MEETINGS IN THE COLONIES. LOTS OF PEOPLE WERE EXCITED TO TRY THIS NEW IDEA. IT INSPIRED SO MANY PEOPLE TO CLEAN THEMSELVES OF SINS AND OTHER THING.
The preachers in the great awaking said to the people that they don't have to be apart of the church. They said if you read the bible then its OK to not be apart of the church and still believe in the religion. One strong preacher of this idea was George Whitefield who convinced many to read the bible. People started to form there own groups outside of the church
The Great Awakening had many effects on both society and the church. The ministers were surprised by how nobody was going to church any more so they decided to travel and spread religious acts and speeches in colonies. The minsters inspired the people to get more involved in their religion or they would "go to hell". The minsters began to travel throughout the colonies to preach about god in meeting houses and city street. This helped people get more involved in their religion. The Great Awakening lasted for about ten years but it left a huge impact on societies that are the thirteen colonies and other societies today.

2. What was the Great Awakening and how did it influence a new way of thinking among the colonists?
The Great Awakening is a religious movement during the 1730's and 1740's in which minsters presented powerful messages of salvation and provided early Americans with a greater sense of freedom. The Great Awakening leaped toward the Connecticut Valley and Western Massachusetts. It influenced a new way of thinking among the colonists because they realized that the religious power was in their own hands instead of the hands of the Church of England. Before the Great Awakening, people went to church and were getting bored. Some people had to travel many miles to go to church because they were afraid they would go to hell. Members of the church were told that they needed church everday and had to go through the same rituals in order to attain salvation.
The Great Awakening prepared America for the War of Indepedence. It taught people that they can stand up to religious authority. They had a choice to break off from their church and form new ones.
Describe the preachers of the Great Awakening. You may name specific figures, explain their methods for converting, and explain the content of their message.
Some of the preachers that the Great Awakening were Jonathan Edward's, and George Whitefield. Jonathan Edward's set off the great awakening in the colonies. He targeted mostly young colonist. He preached about beauty and sweetness of the god. He warned people that if you don't follow the bible you will end up with an evil god or in fiery torments of hell. When George Whitfield arrived in the colonies the movement of the Great Awakening spread like wildfire. People who followed the movement of the Great Awakening spilt from their churches an joined new ones. some of the ministers were not as educated they argued that book learning is less important than preaching from the heart.

#2. What was the Great Awakening and how did it influence a new way of thinking among the colonies.
The Great Awakening began in the Connecticut valley, and Western Massachusetts. In Connecticut valley the most noted points of origin was under the leadership of Jonathan Edwards. Communities were centered around a church or meeting house which for the communities was their center or worship, business, ad a center for social gatherings. The preachers were very respected in the communities. The church told people that without God's forgiveness for sins in life, they would "burn in hell for eternity." Settelments were growing rapidly and this became a problem with the church. As the Great Awakening swept through the colonies, it had many different effects in different religions.

What were the effects of the Great Awakening?
Some of the effects in the Great Awekening was the religious movement had an effect in which the American Colonies viewed themselves. An effect in the church was that people couldn't reach out to religious temples. Also the Settlements were growing rapidly in both number and size, this had a big problem with the church. This was unable to meet the need and demands of colonists as they spread across the lands. But many ministers told people to get more into their religion. In the beginning of the 1730's, ministers traveled the colonies to preach about god.

The Great Awakening was a major religious movement that occurred in the 1700's. The people in the American colonies started to have new thoughts of how the government should be run. Important people like Jonathon Edwards went around the colonies expressing that people should choose what they want to put their faith into. This movement greatly affected daily life in the colonies. The people started to believe that they should be able to believe in what they want to believe in, and not what the government tells them they should. This movement is a contributor to the law of freedom of speech today.

Some leaders of the Awakening such as Jonathan Edwards and George Whitefield had little interest in merely engaging parishioners minds; they wanted far more to elicit an emotional response from their audience, one which might yield the workings and evidence of saving grace.
What were the affects of the great awakening?
The great awakening changed peoples religion and thoughts on religion. If also affected political life and social life. Tell great awakining brought people of many religions, classes, and races togather. Poor people and women members of minority groups often helped and took part in services. Minesters from different colonies met and shared ideas with one another. This represented one of the few exchanges between colonies.

In the 1730's through the 1740's was a religious movement, and it swept through the colonies very fast. It changed man and woman of all ages. Also many different backgrounds. There was a lot of impact of the great awakening. One way was that many people who supported the great awakening stopped going to their church and formed new ones. Their old churches thought that the movement was too emotional. It made many of the colonists have different belifes. The great awakening contribued the spread of democratic feeling too. Ministers belived that book learning was far less important then holy spirit. They felt independent which made them want to challenge others when their religious liberties were at sake.
