The First Great Awakening was a sucession of Christian revivals that shook England and The 13 Colonies in the decade of 1730s.
It led to the emergence of Anglo-American evangelicalism within the Protestant Church.
In the American colonies, the Awakening led to the separation of the Congregational and Presbyterian churches, but the Methodists and Baptists became more powerful. Its impact was small in the practices of Lutherans, Quakers, and non-Protestants. New missionary societies arose.
After this movement, more free blacks and African American slaves got in contact with the Christian doctrines and were converted afterwards.
