Explain how some of the widespread ideas during the Great Awakening affected the American colonies and led to a desire for liberty and the War for Independence. Include at least 5 important facts.

<p>The Great Awakening emphasized individual religious experience and emphasized individual conscience over religious authority. This fostered an atmosphere of independent thinking and a questioning of traditional authority which was carried over into political thought.</p> <p>The Great Awakening championed the idea of equality before God, which fostered a belief in equality amongst men regardless of status or wealth. This resonated with colonists who felt burdened by British taxation and rule.</p> <p>The preachers of the Great Awakening emphasized the importance of personal responsibility, contributing to the growing sense of self-government and challenging the authority of distant monarchs. The Great Awakening pushed colonists to rely on their own interpretations of religious doctrine, which, in turn, contributed to their desire for political independence.</p> <p>This increased sense of unity among the colonists, fostered by the shared religious experience of the Great Awakening, strengthened the sense of a collective identity and fueled the desire for independence from British rule.</p> <p>The Great Awakening also contributed to a growing emphasis on religious liberty and freedom of conscience, which led to a questioning of the status quo and a desire for increased autonomy from the authority of the British monarchy. These widespread ideas and principles would come to define American revolutionary thought.</p> Signup and view all the answers
