The Great Awakening was **a revitalization of religious feeling; it emphasized personal salvation**. This movement occurred primarily in the 18th century and saw a surge in religious fervor, with an emphasis on individual emotional experiences and direct relationships with God, rather than traditional religious authority. It played a significant role in shaping American religious life and fostering a sense of personal autonomy in spiritual matters.
