It was a movement characterized by dramatic sermons that swept the colonies starting in 1720.

Explanation

The First Great Awakening was a religious revival movement that spread through the American colonies in the 1730s and 1740s. Preachers such as George Whitefield gave emotional, dramatic sermons that encouraged people to renew their faith.
