Detailed explanation-1: -The Great Awakening saw the rise of several Protestant denominations, including Methodists, Presbyterians, and Baptists-who emphasized adult baptism of converted Christians rather than infant baptism.
Detailed explanation-2: -The First Great Awakening was a period when spirituality and religious devotion were revived. This feeling swept through the American colonies between the 1730s and 1770s. The revival of Protestant beliefs was part of a much broader movement that was taking place in England, Scotland, and Germany at that time.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Great Awakening notably altered the religious climate in the American colonies. Ordinary people were encouraged to make a personal connection with God, instead of relying on a minister. Newer denominations, such as Methodists and Baptists, grew quickly.
