The spiritual roots of the Revolution: the Great Awakening and the United States
Resumen
The article deals with the impact of the Great Awakening on the Colonial America of the XVIII century. The American Revolution is undoubtedly the greatest legacy of this period. Awakening and Revolution seem to be linked by an oxymoronic relationship based on a particular dialogue between faith and Enlightenment rationality. In this way, it is possible to emphasize the existence of an important religious component underlying American identity. This work explains the influence of the Great Awakening on the colonial society. Through the work of the preachers, it acquires new awarenesses and it abandons the typical hierarchy in the name of new perspectives of self-determination. The idea of Revolution grows in the man that finds in God a legitimizing force that drives him to the constant pursuit of happiness.
