The Change of Religion
I found the reading to be difficult for me.I'm not much of a reader or much of a history person as well. The discussion really helped clear things up for me. I was not quite sure about the Enlightment and Great Awakening period. These events all took place after the scientific revolution where the discovery was made that the Earth revolves around the sun. This threw off the church beliefs and many churches, Baptist and Methodist, were introduced along with the idea of deism.

I agree with casey, the reading was a tad difficult due to the boringness(if thats a word). But the discussion really helped me out.
the readings were not so boring although i like history a lot, but the discussion was extremely useful and can already see how useful they are going to be to the class
I found that the discussion group was a huge help in understanding the material presented in class. Discussion the Great Awakening and the Enlightenment and the contributors in both really helped me gain a sense of what was happing in the colonies at this time. We also talked about George Washington and the Ohio Valley problem, which i felt was one of the most confusing parts of the assigned reading, and we were able to discuss and really give me a good sense of what happened and the problems each side face. i find the discussions to more helpful then the actual lectures themselves. hopefully we can cover test layouts so we can properly prepare for them.
