What role did religion play in America in the early nineteenth century?
What will be an ideal response?
Students should be familiar with the two competing forces at work in theology in America at the time. On the one hand, beliefs such as Unitarianism embraced a rational view of religion, while evangelicals favored a more emotional response to the issue of salvation. Stronger students should be able to place these concepts in some larger context, tying Unitarianism into the rationality of the Enlightenment and the political thought of the revolutionary generation. These students should also see the connections between the new evangelicalism and the Great Awakening and should see how these frontier revivals expressed concern over the lack of societal controls in an emerging society.
