The Great Awakenings: When America Found Religion

from History Shorts

At two pivotal moments in American history, waves of religious revival swept across the colonies and the young United States, reshaping faith, politics, reform movements, and the very idea of what it meant to be American. Known as the First and Second Great Awakenings, these movements transformed religion from an elite, church-centered experience into a mass, emotional, and deeply personal force.   DON'T FORGET TO SUBSCRIBE AND LEAVE A RATING OR A REVIEW!
