Great Awakening mind map overview

The Great Awakening was a series of Protestant revivals in the British American colonies, mainly from the 1730s to the 1770s. Historians usually divide it into the First Great Awakening, centered on preachers like Jonathan Edwards and George Whitefield, and later revivals that spread evangelical religion across the frontier and into new denominations.

  • Causes: spiritual decline, colonial population growth, and new itinerant preaching
  • First Awakening: Edwards, Whitefield, and the emphasis on personal conversion
  • Second Awakening: frontier camp meetings and expanding Baptist and Methodist churches
  • Social effects: challenges to church authority and wider lay participation

Use the map to review causes, leaders, and consequences before an exam. Create your own version with CogniGuide from your readings to keep the structure tied to your course.
