3.3 Warmup - SSUSH2

In what way were the sermons of revivalists of the Great Awakening, such as Pennsylvania's Gilbert Tennent and New England's James Davenport, similar to the writings of many prominent American revolutionaries?

• Revivalists preached that unless colonists united under a single church, the colonists were doomed to suffer, much like the American revolutionaries who said that the colonists would face certain death unless they united against the King of England.

• Revivalists asked the colonists to question their religious leaders, much in the same way that American revolutionaries would eventually ask the colonists to question the British monarchy.

• Revivalists preached the ideas at the heart of Manifest Destiny, that the American nation was destined to stretch from coast to coast, much like the American revolutionaries who argued that it was the colonists' destiny to establish their own nation.

• Revivalists insisted colonists had a moral duty to help finance the revivals, much in the same way that the American revolutionaries argued that colonists had a moral duty to finance the war effort.
