Notes for September 20th 7th Pd.

Mr. G talked to the class for pretty much the entire class.

Notes on his lecture

James Davenport threw his pants on the fire

During this time the Enlightenment is causing waves

Harvard has a new president and is moving from religion to Enlightenment

Harvard no longer provided ministers for the Puritans

Harvard Grads became Unitarian pastors

This leads to the development of Yale to continue Puritan minister production

This becomes accepted for a while

Then Yale leaves the Puritans and goes over to the Church of England

Methodists, Baptists and Presbyterians gained a ton of ground

This period was called the Great Awakening

One leader of the Great Awakening was Jonathon Edwards

Edwards was a “dead dog” a monotonic preacher who droned on for hours

The charismatic George Whitefield was also a leader of the Great Awakening

Many new universities began to be formed such as Dartmouth and Princeton

South Carolina experiences a Slave rebellion

The Whooping Cough disease becomes prevalent through out the colonies

Poverty came throughout the colonies

Georgia is also formed during this time period

Georgia was supposed to become a Utopia

Obviously that failed miserably
