The assignment this week is to examine the First and Second Great Awakenings of the United States. On the surface, they may not seem too deeply tied to one another, but upon some analysis, the argument could be made that they are actually the same movement that manifested in different ways at two separate points in history. In your opinion, in what ways are the two Great Awakenings tied to one another? Did the first lay the groundwork for the second? Is it possible that they really are both the same movement that manifested in different ways at two separate points in history? Also, how do you think these “Awakenings”” shaped our country and culture today?
Below was last weeks assignment with the links provided below.
The information provided is not apart of the assignment for this week and is not required to be referenced to necessarily but I provided the information since the two assignments linked to each other.
There were two “”Great Awakenings”” in American history. The first was a spiritual awakening that led to the American Revolution. The second led to the abolition of slavery. Inside this folder we are going to examine both. This week. your only assignment is to read the material inside.
