Discuss the impact of the enlightenment and the great awakening on colonial society in american

Hello!

Both the movement of Christian revitalization of the Great Awakening and the cultural movement of the Enlightenment have had a great impact on the American colonies in the eighteenth century.

 On the one hand, the Enlightenment, extended from France, has led to important intellectual debates that had a clear influence on the political and social movement of the American Revolution, which led to the formation of an independent United States (1776).

 Most of the "founding fathers" can be considered both political and intellectual enlightened, who politically defended the concept of social contract, civil and political rights and religious tolerance.

 The American illustration was characterized by the conciliation between reason and faith through a deistic sensibility, which rejected dogmas and mysticism and demanded a complete separation between the churches and the State. In this sense, the different movements of the Enlightenment were reactions against the authoritarianism, irrationality and obscurantism of the established churches.

 On the other hand, the great awakening (movement of Christian revitalization) spread between 1730 and 1740 in the colonies of North America, leaving a permanent impact on American religion. This movement consisted of an intensely personal Christianity by fostering a deep sense of spiritual conviction and redemption, and by fostering introspection and commitment to a new norm of personal morality. It led to changes in God's understanding of Americans, of themselves, and of the world around them. In the colonies of the center and of the south, especially in the "interior regions of the country," the awakening influenced to a great extent among the Presbyterians. In the southern regions, the Baptist and Methodist northern preachers converted whites as well as blacks, slaves and freemen alike. Baptists, especially, welcomed blacks into active roles in congregations, including their performance as preachers. Before the American Revolution, the first black Baptist churches were founded in southern Virginia, South Carolina, and Georgia; while in Saint Petersburg, Virginia, two Black Baptist churches were founded.

I hope this can help you.

especially research the treaty of greenville and the treaty of colerain in washington's administration.   also research at least one significant treaty from the administrations of adams, jefferson, and madison. tell the outcome of each treaty and how it did or did not in the further development of the west.

treaty of greenville (1814) the treaty of greenville (1814) was called a treaty of peace and friendship between the united states of america and the tribes of native americans called the wyandots, delawares, shawanoese, senacas and miamies.

the treaty of colerain was signed at st. marys, georgia in camden county, georgia, by benjamin hawkins, george clymer, and andrew pickens for the united states and representatives of the creek nation, for whom indian trader langley bryant served as an interpreter, on june 29, 1796, proclaimed on march 18, 1797, and codified as 7 stat. 56. colerain was a small community and the site of a u.s. indian factory founded by james seagrove.  

this treaty affirmed the binding of the treaty of new york (1790). the treaties of hopewell and the treaty of holston (1791) established boundary lines between the choctaws, chickasaws, cherokee, and the u.s. the treaty of colerain bound the creek nation to acknowledge the boundaries established in those treaties.  

it also established the boundary line between the creek nation and the united states. at the time of this treaty, the boundaries between spanish florida and the u.s. had not yet been established. this treaty formally allowed the creek chiefs to acknowledge the negotiation for delineating the georgia-florida boundary with spain.  

the treaty contained a provision that the president of the u.s. may establish a trading or military outpost.  

the united states demanded that the creeks give up their american prisoners and also return all "citizens, white inhabitants, negroes and property" taken by the creeks.  

the treaty describes when it would take effect. after the treaty had been signed but not yet promulgated, the u.s. senate requested modification of two articles of the treaty. the first modification stipulated that the military or trading posts would be under the control of the united states. the second modification stipulated that if the u.s. no longer required the use of those posts, the locations would revert to the creek people.
