Discussion and Conclusions. 330 $aThis work documents the impact that the Great Awakening had on the inhabitants of colonial America?s Southern Backcountry. Special emphasis is placed on how this religious revival furrowed the ground on which the seeds of the American Revolution would sprout. The investigation shows how the Great Awakening can be traced to the Europe?s Age of Enlightenment. This effort also demonstrates how and why this revival spread so rapidly throughout the colonies. Special focus is placed on how the Great Awakening impacted the mindset of colonists of the Southern Backcountry. Most significantly, this research demonstrates how this 18thcentury revival not only cultivated a sense of American national identity, but how it also fostered a colonial mindset against established authority which, in turn, facilitated the success of the American Revolution. Additionally, this investigation will document (from a cross-cultural perspective) how religious revivals have fueled other revolutionary movements around the world. Such analysis will include the Celtic Druid Revolt, the Maji-Maji Rebellion of East Africa along with the Mad Man?s War in Southeast Asia. Lastly, the ethical ramifications of minimizing (or denying) the role that religion played in political and social transformations around the world will be addressed. This final point is of paramount importance given current trend in academia to minimize the role that religion played in spurring revolutions while emphasizing material (i.e. economic) causal factors. This attempt at divorcing religion from history is misguided and unethical because it is not only misleading but it also fails to fully acknowledge the beliefs and values that motivated individuals to take certain actions in the first place. 410 0$aAnthropology and Ethics,$x2195-0822 ;$v4 606 $aAnthropology 606 $aReligion 606 $aHistory 606 $aAnthropology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X12000 606 $aReligious Studies, general$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/1A0000 606 $aHistory, general$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/700000 607 $aSouthern States$xReligious life and customs 607 $aZuidelijke staten$2gtt 615 0$aAnthropology. 615 0$aReligion. 615 0$aHistory. 615 14$aAnthropology. 615 24$aReligious Studies, general. 615 24$aHistory, general. 676 $a277.307 686 $a15.85$2bcl 700 $aChacon$b Richard J$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0868562 702 $aScoggins$b Michael Charles$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910298076503321 996 $aThe Great Awakening and Southern Backcountry Revolutionaries$91938799 997 $aUNINA
