(Intro for Buzzy Bee Company & BAHP)
Dad: Son, it is time I talked to you about the birds,the bees, and The Great Awakening.
Son: Oh. What is that dad?
Dad: The Great Awakening was a religious revival that swept through the American colonies from 1730 to 1770.
Son: Boring...
George Whitefield: GREAT PEOPLE! Ladys and Gentleman. Boys and girls I ask of you to come to our church, and repent of your sins!
Dad: The leaders were George Whitefield and Jonathan Edwards. They drew HUGE crowds to their churches.
Son: Like the one we go to on sundays!
Dad: Let me explain more.
George Whitefield: YOU WILL BURN IN HELL IF YOU DO NOT REPENT OF YOUR SINS! SO COME AND DO SO!
Dad: They preached vehemently.
Son: What does vehemently mean?
Dad: With lots of emotion. I have a dictionary that I study.
Dad: So the Great Awakening made people feel more enthusiastic about religion, but some comunities were split by doctrinal diferences. The movements also helped weaken royal authority.
We don't know, but it might of had a political impact on the American Revolution.
Son: That was great... maybe.
Dad: Now let me tell you about the birds and the bees.
Son: Someone please help...(Silently)
