There were many causes that led up to what is known as the Revolutionary War. This exhibit will include a cause not many people may know: religion. In the earlier decades of the 1700s religion was starting to change. Thus brought a movement to revive the old religious ways. This was something that helped lead up to the war. Some things include events, people, and written works. One event was The Great Awakening, which was the movement for reviving religion. A key person was George Whitefield, who preached among the thirteen colonies during the awakening. Lastly, there are written sermons during the war. This exhibit will show the religious side of causes during the 1700 century leading the Revolutionary War.
