The First Great Awakening was a revival that swept Protestantism in the British colonies and changed the fabric of religion in early America. The revival took place in the mid-18th century and was a reaction to the logic and reasoning of the Enlightenment. First Great Awakening APUSH questions will require you to know the leaders of this movement and how the movement affected religion and everyday life in the colonies.
What is the First Great Awakening?Protestant ministers in the 1730s began to push back against the cerebral nature of religion, which dictated what faith looked like in the colonies. Tradition, hierarchy, and careful study of doctrine marked the quiet, modest practices of colonial Protestants, but fiery ministers like Jonathan Edwards and George Whitefield began to preach a more personal, emotional religion. They held open-air sermons across the colonies, attracting thousands of believers with their intensely spirited words and ideas.
The result was the First Great Awakening, an era of great change for religion in America. Christian Protestants began to reflect on the spirituality of everyday life and contemplated a deep, direct connection to their God, where previously the connection was seen to be between the church leaders and the deity. Because of its deeply personal nature, and an influx of new ideas about faith, the First Great Awakening sparked many rifts between religious groups, and thus this was a period when many new denominations were born among Methodists, Baptists, and Presbyterians. Some categorized the division between “old lights” and “new lights,” with the old lights being those adherents to the more traditional, unemotional faith, and the new lights being the subscribers to the new passionate and personal religiosity.
Important years to note for the First Great Awakening:
What are some historical people and events related to the First Great Awakening?

-Week 7 Read Chapter 4 and complete the Reading checks
| seven_years_war.ppt |
Please read Chapter 4 and complete the READING CHECK questions that are found as you read the text. Then, complete the first two prompts in the section assessments (define and identify).
Read the Proclamation of 1763 and George Washington's letter to William Crawford. Construct a response in ONE paragraph that employs a topic sentence and uses the two documents to support that sentence. Students shall describe each document and explain how or why each document is important as evidence.
Hints: 1. Always use MLA headings and citations. 2. Always have a topic sentence for a paragraph that either stands alone or supports a thesis. 3. Describe your evidence (the document) and explain how it supports your topic sentence. 4. Do not quote the document- it is a waste of time and paper space- I've already read them. Just paraphrase to explain them. 5. It helps to tell what the historical context, intended audience, purpose or point of view of the document. In this case, note the point of view of the King and compare it to Washington's.

Activity: The Break-up Letter
KG.
I'm not sure how to start this letter, but I feel we need to talk. I've been thinking about us a lot lately. Things used to be so great. It was like we were made for each other. I mean, everyone said it was perfect. I really thought we would be together forever. But then things changed. I feel like you started taking me for granted. You just started to do whatever you wanted and never asked me about anything or how I felt. I've been thinking about this for a while, and I don't want to hurt you, but I think it's time we broke up. I mean, it's not going to work. I need some time by myself to see what it is like on my own. I'm sorry things didn't work out but I do think you are the one to blame. I'm sorry, but 'us' is over.
Signed, A.C.

The Declaration of Independence is divided up into five parts:
- Introduction – In the introduction of the Declaration of Independence, declares the reasons the American colonies wish to leave the British Empire. It is further noted that their independence is not only necessary, but unavoidable.
- Preamble – The preamble to the Declaration of Independence lists principles that were already known as being “self-evident” by the majority of Englishmen of the 18th Century. It continues to state that when such a situation arises in government (as that being experienced by the British governing of the 13 colonies), it is not only their desire, but it is their right and their duty to throw off such a Government and to provide the foundation for a new government to ensure their future security.
- Body Section 1 – In this part of the Declaration of Independence, the grievances against England and King George III are listed.
- Body Section 2 – Section two of the body of the Declaration of Independence clearly states that the colonist’s efforts to appeal some of the decisions of King George III were met in vain.
- Conclusion – The conclusion of the Declaration of Independence notes that having listed the grievances, under which British North American lived, they – the United Colonies – were declaring their right to be free and independent from any and all allegiance to the British Crown. It further stated that any political connection between the two is to be dissolved.
