GREAT AWAKENING

The Great Awakening was a religious revival in America between 1734 and 1744, through Massachusetts and Connecticut, induced by the eloquence of Jonathan Edwards and George Whitefield. Jonathan Edwards had a parish at Northampton, George Whitefield was an Englishman. Their preaching aroused the greatest religious enthusiasm, and made hundreds of converts. The awakening was looked upon with disfavour in England.
