Detailed explanation-1: -The Great Awakening was a religious revival that impacted the English colonies in America during the 1730s and 1740s . The movement came at a time when the idea of secular rationalism was being emphasized, and passion for religion had grown stale.
Detailed explanation-2: -The revivals had weakened the hold of the established churches in colonial America, and large numbers of Christians joined new evangelical churches like those of the Baptists or Methodists. The Great Awakening also contributed to colonial religious liberty by changing the balance of religious power.
Detailed explanation-3: -A number of conditions in the colonies contributed to the revival: an arid rationalism in New England, formalism in liturgical practices, as among the Dutch Reformed in the Middle Colonies, and the neglect of pastoral supervision in the South.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Great Awakening lead to greater religious tolerance in the colonies because it gave people a sense to respect others. For example, there were many rivalries during this time period and when people began to examine themselves in the eyes of God, they realized that they should not treat people the way they did.
