The Great Awakening was a religious revival movement in the 18th century that emphasized personal faith, emotional experiences, and a direct relationship with God, challenging established religious authorities. It promoted ideas of individualism and egalitarianism, leading to increased religious diversity and the establishment of new denominations. The movement also encouraged a sense of shared American identity and laid the groundwork for social and political change, influencing future movements for independence and reform.
