Answer 2

The correct alternative is C) the American Revolution.

The Great Awakening composed a number of periods of religious revival in American Christian history. Four main waves of religious enthusiasm occurred between early 18th century and the 20th century, being symbols of this era. These events presented widespread revivals led by evangelical Protestant ministers, increased religion interest and an intense sense of conviction and redemption from the followers.

The First Great Awakening had great impact on the American Revolution once Protestant ministers preached Revolutionary themes in their sermons throughout the thirteen colonies, unlike the English Church, which preached loyalty to the king. Therefore, because of religion, the motivation of fighting the tyranny transcended socioeconomic lines, empowering the population as whole to fight for freedom and played a major role on this historical event.
