  3. The Great Awakening • A fear that religion had lost its influence in daily life. • 1730s and 1740s a religious movement swept through the colonies • Known as the Great Awakening • Traveling priests who terrified listeners, but gave hope to all. • Most noteable: Jonathan Edwards and George Whitfield • Huge contributing factor in questioning the authority of the British government -> leading to the American Revolution

  4. The Enlightenment • Emphasized reason and science • Benjamin Franklin – most famous Enlightenment figure • Began in Europe, but spread across the Atlantic. • Caused colonists to analyze whether the British government was protecting their rights and freedom

  5. The Reasons for Protest • Townshend Acts – New Yorkers were angry their elected assembly was suspended (until New Yorkers agreed to provide housing for British troops) • Colonists were also upset over writs of assistance • Used to enforce an order for the possession of lands • John Locke’s natural rights – “life, liberty, and land”

  6. Tools of Protest • Samuel Adams – key figure who urged colonists to resist the British • Big method used by colonists – the boycott • Refusal to purchase a particular set of goods…in this case British imports • Emphasis to not bring violence into the resistance movement, but tempers among the colonist were very high
