Great Awakening

The Great Awakening occured during the time period of the 1730’s to the 1740’s. The main idea of Great Awakening was the colonist's individuality in religion. It started off when King Henry forced the people to follow his preferred religion. The Great Awakening took the idea that religion should be directly from an individual person to God.  Quakers, Anglicans, Baptists, and Presbyterians, the greatest denomonaions, established their own churches. The Great Awakening caused for religious people to break away from the established churches.
