The formation of many new churches, especially in the Southern backcountry, was primarily influenced by **The Great Awakening**. This religious revival movement, which began in the early 18th century, emphasized personal faith, emotional connection to religion, and an egalitarian approach to worship. It encouraged a break from established denominations and traditional authority, leading to the growth of new denominations and an increase in religious fervor in various regions, including the Southern backcountry.
